Thank you for your reply. To address your individual points: I am unable to boot in safemode. Using F8 brings up the menu of options. However, regardless of which I select, including safemode, it brings me back to the boot screen, and when I select Windows XP the system immediately freezes...

I have a Tyan S2390 MBoard w/an Athlon TBird 1Ghz. It has 6 PCI slots. All are used. I'm set up for dual boot Win 98SE / Win XP. I pulled the existing firewire card and replaced it with a Hiesei USB 2.0 / Firewire combo card. It works when I boot to Win 98. When I select Win XP at the boot...

I'm trying to install a firewire card and DV capture software. I have Win98 SE, and Direct-X 8.0 with the DV update installed. On reboot after card install, Windows keeps telling me to insert my Windows 98 disk, and then it asks for the following files: KSCAPTUR.CAT VFWWDM32.DLL VFWWDM.DRV...

I'm running Windows 98SE now. If I upgrade to Windows XP, and then later build a new computer, can I "move" the OS to the new one? In other words, deinstall it off the old one and install it on the new one? As I understand it,XP registers itself with your existing components and...

Thanks for the info, and the link to the AMD tech documents. Looks like I will be OK if I use HMonitor to keep the temp limited to 57°C max (135°F) Something that worked surprisingly well: My case has an air extractor fan on the back (in addition to the one on the power supply). I turned it...

Any opinions on the acceptable maximum continuous temperature for an AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1GHz? I normally see 90 - 100°F, but when I go to continuous 100% processor utilization (like for video rendering) it gradually (over about 15 min) warms up to 135°F. At that temperature I have HMonitor...

I'd like to thank everyone for your help. Several of your suggestions helped to reduce the problem. Unfortunately, it was not completely eliminated. I think the base problem is an unstable motherboard or a driver or software problem. Here's what happened: 1. I disabled quick boot. This...

Referring to the post by NLM9802: I'm glad I'm not alone. I home built a system with a Tyan S2390 board and have had this problem from day 1 (when there was very little hardware or software on the card). I've tried all the solutions listed above. I've replaced the memory, I've replaced the...

I’m wondering if someone can help me with a persistent problem. When I boot up from a cold start, about 75% of the time my system will either crash or lock up at the end of the boot cycle, just as the wallpaper is displayed. Sometimes this will occur as many as 4 times before I finally get a...
