I had a similar problem just a while back - check your cooling fan and make
sure it is working - if the processor is running too hot it will cause the
computer to act crazy, giving you all types of error messages. It may just
be that your cooling is not sufficient. You may need to add an extra cooling
source for this processor.

This may not be the problem, but since it sounded so familiar, I thought I
would add my 2 cents worth.

must be damaged dirty or scratched. Or the Cdrom drive itself maybe
defective.

everytime the installation stops at 10 %.

windows 98 this installs all the way but when i try to access anything in
win 98 errors come up,and protection errors . And asked to shut down. i have
replaced the cables i have ran diagnostic on the hardrive(works fine) and
