It's normal for post-W98 systems to blue screen if you boot them after
changing the motherboard. It's because the NT family configures itself with
the correct drivers for the hardware during setup. Those drivers don't work
on the new system.

There are some ugly and time-consuming workarounds. Frankly, the most
practical would be a new install. Assuming the data on the disk is
important, I would buy a new drive and do a new install on that. With the
old drive connected as a second disk, you will be able to access all the
data on it. Except: If you used EFS to encrypt any files you have a
problem.

Remember to apply SP4 to W2000 and all patches before exposing the computer
to the wild...
