Hello,
I recently was given an IBM Thinkpad, its an older one because it only has Windows 2000 Profesional. It ran fine for about two weeks and now everytime I try to start-up it will start to run Windows and just before the welcome menu comes up a blue screen will pop up saying beggining dump of physical memory. It then tries to restart itself and will do this over and over again. Any Suggestions?

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 8.0
