    Decoding Windows 98 SE error messages

    Thanks for all the help guys. After checking all the above suggestions I figured out it was a hardware issue. I tried changing out every part except the board and chip and a couple reformat/installs and still the same errors. I finally just broke down and got the Epox EP-8K7A, which I must...

    Decoding Windows 98 SE error messages

    I did a thorough ScanDisk about a month ago and it didn't seem to work. I have reformatted since then and should probably do it again. Anything's worth a shot. Thanks.

    Decoding Windows 98 SE error messages

    Lucidguy: I would go Linux if everything were more compatible. I really don't like Windows either but unfortunately, it's the most compatible.

    Missing "viagart.vxd" after updated to Via 4.31

    I actually tried that already. It doesn't look for it when I'm installing. It can't find it right when Windows boots up. I get the Windows screen for a sec then it tells me I'm missing that file. Is this the same problem? Help. Thanks.

    Missing "viagart.vxd" after updated to Via 4.31

    I finally got around to updating my via chipset drivers, and now when Windows restarts I get an error message telling me it can't find viagart.vxd. I have the file but I don't know where Windows is looking to find it? Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks a lot.

    Abit KT7A Problems...which board to get next????

    Okay, my computer freezes up and reboots frequently and I've been trying to figure out the problem for a while. I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the motherboard though. I have tried many different kinds of RAM, including a new stick of PC133 256mb which I just received today. I am...

    Need help!! System locks up and reboots automatically

    Okay, by PS(U) I'm assuming you mean power supply. And if so, this is the second one I've tried. It's a 300 W supply. Datalink7: what program did you use to detect the memory usage? I upgraded my computer to this new motherboard a couple months ago and that's when all of these problems...
