  1. Hi guys! I'm a victim of BSOD with STOP error 0x1E KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED in Win2K driver CLASSPNP>SYS - every 60 min. My husband trying his best but can't figure out this "make no sense" error. Please help I need to finish a big project. System Profile =============== - Win2K Pro on a PII, 350 Mhz, 384MB RAM, 2 HDDs IDE-1 30GB Maxtor Ultra Max Plus ATA/100 DMA and IDE-2 8.4GB Maxtor UltraMax ATA/33 DMA - Both HDDs connected on Maxtor/Promise Ultra ATA/100 Adaptor Card. - OS resided on 30GB HDD in 4GB partition. Have tried the following solutions, but no avail. 1. To begin with, I installed Win2K Pro SP1 last year. No problems (related to above error) until last week when first attack of BSOD happened. Thought it was firewall, got rid of it. Problem persisted. 2. Checked MS KB, found an article 311278 related to STOP 0x1E errors and classpnp.sys - solution was to upgrade to SP3. While doing upgrade, system crashed and had to clean install Win2K with SP3. One hour later, the same BSOD with STOP 0x1E error in classpnp.sys 3. Went back to internet, found that error is related to Maxtor HDD's SMART technology. Downloaded Maxtor's Powermax diagnostics software to check HDDs. Found that my 30GB HDD had SMART problem. Waiting for replacement at present from Maxtor (thanks for their promptness) 4. So, migrated the system to 8GB HDD with clean install of Win2K SP3. One hour later, the same BSOD. Any solutions? My weekend's been destroyed by this silly error. Some say change the location of controller card to different PCI slot, I might try that. Also, I've downloaded new drivers for Ultra 100 from Promise Technologies website. These are my only ideas left. Any ideas to get rid of my misery? Would XP help? Thanks in advance. Monica

    BSOD "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED classpnp.sys"

    Jerry No scheduled tasks every hour or screen saver. I've done 3 clean installs of Win2K SP3 Haven't had a chance to play with power console, but doubt that causes anything Computer could be idle or in the middle of executing some program, BSOD comes up with the exact same error by the clock. In past, I used to get errors (not STOP errors) with Ultra, but they seemed to have stopped and given way to this new periodic phenomenon that seems to exist for other users too (see above). Any ideas? ?
