Occasionally, after restarting a windows 2000 advanced server (sp4), I receive a message that "Windows has finished installing new devices. You must reboot for the changes to take affect." After restart, the machine locks up and blue screens. This has proven to be unrecoverable and we have to restore from tape backup. We have two identical servers and it happens on both. My questions are... How can I tell what device is being installed? Is there a way to disable the windows feature that discovers and installs these "new" devices in Windows 2000 advanced server? Any ideas for other options would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.
