W2k instability-spontaneous restart

Just one question before clean reinstall of W2k on the Dell Inspiron 5000e.
The system behaves rather tiresome. Spontaneous cyclic restarts when starting in the normal mode; while everything is OK in the safe mode. I cannot find the device or service causing it. To make the things worse this is a French version of W2k which I have to use for my job :(. I cannot find there step by step mode of start up.

I found the statement in the system events which "helps" a little on the situation:
Type de l'événement : Informations
Source de l'événement : Save Dump
Description :
L'ordinateur a redémarré à partir d'une vérification d'erreur. La vérification d'erreur était : 0x000000c2 (0x00000007, 0x00000b8a, 0xfef03980, 0xfef03988). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195] Un vidage a été enregistré dans : C:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini081902-03.dmp.

What kind of "verification error" is it and what help can I get from the unloaded dump?
PS There was no any substantial help from the french division of Dell or MS.
All the hardware seems OK according to the Dell diagnostics software.

Thank you
