OK. My machine is an Athlon 600 (original) with the first FIC athlon motherboard and 256MB of SDRAM running Windows 2000 SP1. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I have 3 HD, 1 DVD and 1 CD/R/RW. 2 HD and the CDs are connected to the motherboard and the other HD is connected to the Promise ATA 100 PCI card. My drives are like this: HD0: C: HD1: D:, E: HD2 (ATA 100): F:, G: I dual boot with Windows 98 which is on C:. My Windows 2000 is on E:\WINNT. So my boot drive is C:, but my system drive is E: Anyway, at first everything was OK. My SBLive and Windows 2000 SP1 and all my hardware was working harmoniously in and out of standby/reboot etc. Then, for some unknown reason, devldr32.exe started crashing everytime I start a program that uses sound. Looking at other posts, I see that many are having the same problem. Even though devldr32.exe kept crashing on every program launch, after, like 5 seconds, everything would keep working, so if I double-clicked an MP3, it would start playing after 5 seconds and I would see devldr32.exe in the process list. I would also see that the amount of memory used by the system would go up with each crash probably because devldr32 leaked some memory. Then, at a time when my memory use was around 450MB, I did my usual standby at night and when I woke up in the morning (this morning) and tried to resume, it didn't work; (the USB mouse light turned on) the machine just sat there, doing nothing, the screen never turned on, keyboard lights didn't turn on. Anyway, so I rebooted the machine and since then, I couldn't boot into Windows 2000. In normal boot, it goes into the low-res graphical screen and the progress bar goes all the way to the end, but it hangs there. Again the USB mouse is on, but the keyboard lights are not. And right when everything stops I sometimes hear clicks from the speakers (that's why I'm relating all this to the $#@!@^#$ devldr32.exe and SBLive). I tried Safe boot, safe boot with Cmd prompt, exactly the same result. I tried last known good, same thing. I tried turning on boot logging which is supposed to create a E:\WINNT\ntbtlog.txt file in the system directory; it didn't create any files, so I don't know where exactly the boot is failing. I tried looking for that file in C:, E:, but it's just not there. I put in the Windows 2000 CD and tried doing the auto repair stuff, but it didn't work. I went in with the console and renamed devldr32.exe to fckdevldr32.fck, but that didn't work either. My guess, is that when devldr32 kept crashing left and right, it also corrupted some other SBLive drivers and NT fails when trying to load them. I don't know which drivers these are b/c I don't have the boot log. What do I do?
