MXI-3 blue screen when updating to windows 2000 service pack 3 or 4

[magyar]

I have na host computer with windows 2000, and a PXI chassis connected through MXI-3 (cooper wires). I have a 6025E, a 5102, a 5112, a pickering DMM, and two pickering switch-cards in it. Updating windows is not possible. It didn't work months ago when windows 2000 service pack came out and it doesn't work now with windows 2000 service pack 4 -Blue screeen of death is the verdict!
Any ideas about the posible problem and a cure?

Hi Magvar,

The first thing we need to determine is the cause of the problem. Right now, I see two possible causes. First, the problem could be with the OS on your computer. Second, the problem could be with the MXI-3 interface. In order to determine which is causing the blue screen, I recommend removing the PCI-MXI-3 board from the computer before you install the service pack. If the service pack will successfully install, then we know the problem was with the MXI-3 board. You can then try to reinstall the board. If the installation is not successful, then we know the problem is not connected with the MXI-3 system. In that case, you may need to contact Microsoft for further assistance.

I do not have a answer but I am experiencing the same problem with the embedded PXI-8176 controller. SP3 and SP4 will install and I can safe boot with network. When I try safe boot with vga I get the same blue screen. I have uninstalled the intel 82815 graphics driver and controller S/W with the same results. The blue screen is ***STOP: 0x00000050 (0xEB81C000,0x00000001,0x8046214A,0x00000000).

DO YOU get the same thing ? Uninstalling to SP2 still works so I'm lost.
