MSSQLSERVER service hangs on loading DTC

Hi All,
MSSSQLSERVER service is hanging for ever after auto reboot.
it stops at DTC loading :
SQL Server terminating because of system shutdown.
SQL Server is starting at priority class 'normal'(4 CPUs detected).
SQL Server configured for thread mode processing.
Using dynamic lock allocation. [2500] Lock Blocks, [5000] Lock Owner Blocks.
Attempting to initialize Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
.........
..............
DTC service is disabled and running under local system account.
Sql services are running under domain admin account.
We are starting it manually every time this occurs.
the version is
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.818 (Intel X86)
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4).
There is below DCOM error in the eveny log at the same time.Is this causing
the problem?
DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled
or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. " attempting to
start the service EventSystem with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{1BE1F766-5536-11D1-B726-00C04FB926AF}
Can any one shed some light on it?
Thanks,
Suchi
