I strongly recommand you test the memory, it sounds like either the mobo or
memory is bad. If you don't have a good memory test software, you can try to
find a NT or win2k machine, plug your RAM in, and if the RAM has problem, NT
or win2K will likely to crash (I almost sure it will crash at starting
screen). I have seen some RAMs will run fine under win95/98 but never pass
NT/win2K test.

Subject: [PCBUILD] in with the new part 3


> Ok This switch to my new setup would be riddled with problems I just
didn't relize how many. I switched moniters and that took care of the
flickering problem but that will present another one later on(When I try to
get the dual moniters back up). I have a small HDD that I was using to test
with (1.2gig). It had windows 98 se on it and it seemed to adapt ok but it
had a minimal set up and needed to recognize all the new equipment in the
new setup. I decided I would format C: and reload windows and all the new
drivers for all the new stuff. Well it won't complete the load. Once it gets
to the point where it's trying to recognize and load all the new plug and
play devices it locks up. I have tried reloading it 16 ways to sunday and
reformating and Fdisking till I as blue as the screen of death. I have tried
everything but a new copy of win 98se. Which I don't have but I am
considering it. I took the HDD from the old computer and switched them over
to try that and it says the registry has errors and won't start. Maybe I can
delete the old registry in DOS and force it to create a new one(that doesn't
even sound like a good idea).
