System: MSI BX Master 6163 mb; PII 400 w/256MB; 20GB (master on ATA66); ATI
Rage Pro 3D, SB Live, DVD & CDRW ROM drives. Win98 SE
Problem: frequent system lockups even with no PC activity/usage; also while
using IE5 (and later 5.5), IPFs referencing at times GDI32, MSHTML and
others; or just browser shutdowns!
I'd recently replaced replaced original IDE drive with the 20GB. Lacking
m/b's OEM CDROM I did not have the UDMA/66 drivers (PDC 20262 controller),
so windoze reported "ms-dos compatibility-mode paging". Corrected this with
proper drivers but above-mentioned proplems still exists. Have reinstalled
system from scratch 3xs so far. Any ideas?
TIA
