I'll make the potentially bad assumption that you don't mean "how do I prevent the blue screen", but more the countdown as it dumps the entire contents of memory to a .dmp file. I could make a lot more money for telling you how to prevent the blue screen, given the information that I have in front of me! ;-)
As to the countdown - if you have no intent to make use of a dump file, you can reduce what is saved to a kernel dump or a mini dump or eliminate it completely. On Windows 2000, you would go to My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced then the Startup and Recovery button. Choose which type of memory dump you want, or choose None to eliminate it.

On my Windows 2k Server for the first time I got a blue screen of death that reported a memory dump error with a countdown. The countdown seemed like it went on forever so I just had to forcefully restart the computer and so far it looks fine however I would like to know what caused that and is there a way to prevent that? Perhaps third part software or something? Thanks, Richard S.
