Blue Screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SMK]

Get the following message.

Disk Write Error
Unable to write to drive C:
Data or files may be lost

Tried running scandisk, get the blue screen there, then restarts itself when I press enter. Just did a complete fdisk, format, and it started doing this. Running win98 2nd edition. Only does it every once in awhile, but once is enough. Usually only happens when computer is left running while I'm doing other things. I did run scandisk before this happened, and it reported no errors. Also went into dos when it started happening and ran scandisk, it found no errors either.

Nothing running in background except systray, and explorer. Will try the cable right now.


Found the problem. Remembered didn't notice blue screen till after I changed color depth. Changed it back, and so far no blue screen since I last posted. Glad the madness is finally over, I hope.

Also that's why I got ali chipset. Had one major problem with last pc that had via chipset. Microsoft said it had to do with the chipset and not their OS. Think they were right for once, cause don't have problem on this machine I had on other one.
