Diana-

SUWIN faults when loading Windows or other software can sometimes be
resolved by turning off the L2 cache on the motherboard temporarily. I
can't walk you through this as I don't know what type of BIOS you have, but
the option should be available in your CMOS setup.

(If my previous incomplete post on this made it to the list, I apologize- I
fumbled at the keyboard and somehow managed to send it prematurely :).....)
