    The behavior that you mentioned is seen on servers affected by the Slammer
    virus. Does your SQL Server 2000 have SP2+ security update for SP2 ? If not
    then your server is vulnerable to the Slammer worm.

    SP3 is a big service pack install and one should first test it on a test
    server and only if everything is working as expected then apply it on
    production server. As always, as a safety factor take full database backups
    of all databases before you upgrade to SP3.

    If your main concern is to protect your server from the Slammer worm you
    can either have SP2+security update for SP2 OR have SP3.

    For more information, please refer to

    Hope this helps.
