<< I just built a 350 AMD k6 now system

 on a DFI P5BV3+ rev. B+ motherboard. Two cdroms, a DVD and a CDR (both
 Panasonics)
 It's an enlight Midtower ATX case so I think a 230-250 watt PS.

   My client called and said the computer has a problem booting up after
 being off for several hours.  It gets quite a  way into the boot process
 and then a message will pop up stating that there is a windows
 protection fault loading NTKERN or VIAG.
 necessitating 3 or 4 boot attempts to boot up sucessfullly.  After it
 has been running for a while, it seems to restart OK.

 I set the voltage on the board at 2.2 volts, correct?
 Checked and rechecked the other jumpers, says it's running at 350 mhz.
 I originally burned the system in for 72 hrs and it seemed to run
 stable.

 Any suggestions? >>

Hi,
  Windows 95 has a problem with the new AMD CPU's of 350Mhz and above, in that
part of the code is too slow for the CPU. You can get the update patch at:
http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/k623d/win95_update_k6.html
You'll find a better description of the problem there, as well.

HTH,
Peter Hogan
