I believe it is your ram. About a week or two ago I had my OC'ed Celeron 266 (oc to 400)on a BX chipset running NT 4.0 real stable. I had 128 meg of ram, the good ones, 100 mhz 10 nanos or less. Everything was rock solid. No BSODs at all. I decided to add a couple more 64 meg ram modules (heck if 128 meg is good then 256 is even better! :~) NT does love ram)
I borrowed a couple of 64 meggers I had laying around, not even thinking if they were 100 mhz. Well it now wasn't as stable. I didn't notice it right off. Sometimes it would BSOD on the blue screen loading the NT kernel, other times it would BSOD randomly while working. I put up with it for a couple of days. The errors were virtually identical to both of yours. I researched it in the knowledge base but nothing seemed to work or make sense. I've done NT for a long time now, it can't be this hard I said. It then dawned on me RAM PROBLEM. I promptly removed it and walla! NT was rock stable again.
I would remove and swap or replace the ram. I would bet that it is the problem. Sure was for me. I am sad now that I only have 128 meg.:~(

On the SCSI, if one device is external and the other is internal, then yes both devices should be terminated. You may or may not also have a software termination setting for the scsi card itself in the scsi BIOS setup. This should be disabled if you are using both busses

Let me know what you find out.
Good Luck
Dan
