Several guesses--you need to upgrade your BIOS, you have hardware that is not on the HCL, your installation is corrupt and you need to reinstall, or you loaded something like AOL 5.0 than overwrote a DLL or installed a vxd file or something similiar that is causing the crash.

Now, I find Win2k is very very stable...
