(Memory [?] ) - Problems with Windows 2000

Intro:

Hey all together!

I expirienced some strange problem with Windows 2000.
This is a fresh problem, my W2k install worked optimal for over 2 years now.

Problem description:

When running Photoshop (5.0, f.ex.) and listening to mp3 using Winamp parallely my system hangs in the moment i reload a page in Internet Explorer. Its not just hanging and being silent, it is repeating one tone all the time.

Description extension:

Now i found out that the same problem happens with Winamp, when i have Photoshop running and im deinstalling Software using the Control Panel's Software Management Module (you know, where you install/deinstall components and normal Software and stuff).
Maybe it is some problem with some special API calls.

Finally i also had MIRC running once with Photoshop and Winamp while the problem happened when deinstalling software, and i got disconnected from the irc server with the message (No Buffer space Available).

Conclusion:

After all of this i became sure it has to be some local memory problem.
But why? And which one?
Can anyone help? Please, i would appreciate it... Any suggestions are welcome!

Kind regards
