On the morning after I returned from my trip to Hawai`i, I encountered a Windows 2000 error that made my computer reboot over and over and over again.
I let it reboot a few dozen times just to piece together the error message. All I managed to grab was “KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, 0x0000001E (0xC0000005, 0x804EFAEG, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)”, something about ntoskrnl.sys, and something or other an error at “804EFAE6 at 804000”.
Evidently, no one else has every encountered this problem because Google returned no results for “804EFAE6“. If someone knows how I can decipher this error message, please let me know.
I reinstalled Windows 2000 — and because it overwrote the Registry, all my programs — but I never found out what was wrong in the first place.
