You have an Adaptec 7890 on board your P2B-DS. Didn't it come with
EZ-SCSI 4 or 5...maybe on the Asus motherboard CDROM?

Also, I've heard bad things about overclocking Adaptec SCSI controllers.
Do you get these problems when you aren't overclocking the FSB?

I'm using an Asus P2B-D with Adaptec 2940U2W and 2940UW PCI cards, dual
PIII-800 (running at 8 X 100 MHz), 4 X 128 MB Crucial PC133 CAS2 ECC DIMMs,
8 drives (4 U2 + 4UW), HP 4C scanner, Toshiba 32X CDROM,
Leadtek GeForce DDR, Netgear FA310TX NIC, Microsoft Optical Intellimouse,
IBM keyboard, Courier external, APC SmartUPS, parallel port disabled.
Win2k Pro with Service Pack 1. Non-ACPI Multiprocessor HAL, no IRQs shared.

Similar system to yours.

LSASS.EXE gets replaced by Service Pack 1. Have you tried SP1?
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ has a link for Win2k SP1.

Haven't see this one here.

Are you using Zone Alarm firewall? I get occasional freezes and am
convinced that they are due to Zone Alarm. Zone Labs warns that
nasty things happen on SMP machines when network traffic gets
heavy. I don't know what the definition of heavy is.
