I'm building up a game server using some old parts. Specs are these:
P3-500
384MB RAM
PCChips 726MRT motherboard
AMI BIOS
Windows 98 SE
Western Digital 60GB HD (5400) (partitioned into 3 drives)
Voodoo3-2000
Windows 98 installed fine off the CD, but now whenever I try to install any software (Half life and Unreal Tournament both do this) off CD, it gets between 30-45% into the installation process and then reboots. Things I've tried:
Swapping out the CD drives.
Switching between IDE-1 and -2.
Using a Promise IDE controller card for the CD drive.
Trying different CD's (2 different Half life CD's and UT).
Problem remains the same. Any help GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for looking.
