Win2000 shuts down without asking

I have an ASUS A7Pro Motherboard and a Duron 700 Mhz processor, a voodoo3 and a SB128. All provided with the latest drivers.
But sometimes, especially while surfing or copying files to the harddrive, Win 2000 Prof. (English) just starts rebooting while I even didn't have the time to save things...
WHAT IS THIS?

Nick, which motherboard do you have? Is this specific to the A7Pro, or does this happen with all ASUS boards? I want to get their new DDR board, but I don't want to have your problem. Thanks.

Ahh, that is the same problem I just got (almost) over. Hold the windows key and hit break. Go to Advanced, go to Startup and Recovery and turn off the automatically reboot option.

This won't stop if from crashing, but you'll be able to see the error message that it produces to diagnose it.

Thanks for the comment!
I turned off the automatic reboot option and yes indeed I had an error message saying:
*** STOP: 0x0000000A (0x3833498F, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80416D72)
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Address 80416D72 base at 80400000, Datestamp 39760637 - ntoskrnl.exe

Is this an IRQ problem? I really don't know. There seems nothing wrong with the IRQ's if I have to believe the device manager. But there is one other thing, there is a message in the Event Viewer (Administration Tools), which says there is a problem with "ftdisk" or something.
I found also something here http://www.jsiinc.com/tip0800/rh0884.htm but that didn't help...
Could some of you help me out here?

I had a KMODE error, not the IRQL error, so I cannot really help you there...]

Your system might be instable because win2k only install let me say some "standard" driver for the VIA chipset on your board.

It occurs probably on many mainboards, where the VIA KT133 chipset is enabled on (not only on asus, but on ABIT I heard of).

be sure, you have the latest VIA chipset update for your win2k and the system should be more compatible to the chipset.

you can get it here:

What I have done so far :

I have an ASUS p3v133 motherboard and I get both the 0x0000000a IRQL and 0x0000001E KMODE stop errors. I have tried to upgrade my VIA chipset drivers from the ASUS site but every time I installed the Win2000 dirvers it caused my system to crash. My crashes occur in ntoskrnl.exe, they happen at any time and randomly, after viewing this site I think it has to do with ASUS. If any has any sugestions let me know.

I had the IRQL error on mine... Asus w/amd tbird etc. Turns out it was the driver for my SupraMax modem... I switched to the Microsoft HCF driver and it went away. Try disabling all shared IRQ devices one at a time to figure out which one is causing it. Its definitely an error in one of the device drivers.
