Im getting lockups right at the end of Win98 loading...I have a feeling it might be my power supply...its a 250 watter that came with my case..running an Tbird 1200@1333 1.85v, CDRW, DVD Rom, 1 HDD, 2 case fans, and a neon light..

what do you guys think?

thanks,

Jaime

Should really be using 300w or above for your system so I would say yes good chance,if you got the money treat yourself to a nice 350w Enermax psu(EG365P-VE).


I know some 250w are approved for that CPU ,but you can try default speed with minimal hardware connected and see if stability is better power wise, if so then very good chance it`s the PSU.
