My system setup:
Pentium 4/1.7GHz/512MB SDRAM, Asus P4B motherboard, 300W power supply, slots:
AGP - ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder
PCI 1 - empty
PCI 2 - SB Live! MP3+ 5.1
PCI 3 - USR Faxmodem 56K
PCI 4 - 3Com 10/100 NIC
PCI 5 - empty
PCI 6 - empty
disabled onboard audio on motherboard by moving jumper
Formatted the hard drive and installed Win98SE with no errors. System comes up in 640x480 mode. Install video drivers and switch to 1152x864. Install modem drivers. Now whenever I boot the PC, the system will run for about 2-3 minutes and then do one of the following: 1) lock up completely (mouse still moves but entire screen is frozen); 2) screen will go blank and monitor goes into offline mode (but computer is still running); 3) screen will get suddenly very bright and freeze. Keyboard totally inactive, only way to get out is hard boot. No PCI interrupt conflicts present when I look at each device. BIOS settings seem to be correct.
This is my brand-new computer I've been trying to get up and running for several weeks with no success. Am I missing something?
Any help appreciated!!
