Chuck,
For starters, set AGP aperture size and 1x/2x per STB's recommendations
(found on web site, by tech help, or on the installation CD).  Also, Via
MVP3 chipset is flaky with ANY version of Windows 95, so I suggest Windows
98 if you don't have it already.  To get through boot-up, you might set
"Halt On Errors" to Keyboard Only" (or similar) in BIOS, rather than "halt
on: all errors".
