W2K fails to boot

Have done a clean install of Win2K on a HP Pavilion
w/Millenium that needed a BIOS upgrade due to ACPI
compliancy. Upgrade of a 2rd party BIOS went OK. Then
reformatted HD and installed W2K as a clean install. It
appeared to go OK but trying to start W2k ends with a
lock up at the desktop. Can boot in Safe Mode OK but all
looks OK in Safe Mode. Any clues on what to try next?
TIA, Dana

Check Event Viewer and Device Manager for errors and or non-starting
devices.
