Hello all,
I really need some help, the problem is kinda vague, but at least give me some options as what i can do here. For christmas, i got a new case, keyboard and mouse to finnish building my new system. Well, got everything installed on the motherboard, and all the board put it. When i put in a hard drive to install win 98 on it, everytime i get to the click continue, the computer freezes. I tried it about 7-8 times but it froze every time. So, i thougt no problem. i'll just put the hard drive in my opther computer, install win98, and plug it in and let it find all the new boards. Well, got win 98 installed on my other machine, and put it into my new comp. Turned it on, win 98 started to boot up, and when it was locating the drivers for the new boards, it locked up. I kept rebooting until finaaly i got to a teal screen. But it won't go any further. It locks up. And some times, it lockes up at the win 98 start up screen. I have tried a few different hard drives, but they all do the same thing. (the hard drives are all made by the same manufacturer).
But everything is fine until it gets to the boot up ein98 part, Ram check is dine, locates the hard drive and cd rom, and floppy.
OK, now the other stuff. The hard drive(s) i am trying to install win 98 on, on the new comp are all made by maxtor. The motherboard is a plain asus P2B. And it has a p3 550 mhz chip in it.
Any ideas?? If so be specific. ALso i was going to clear the cmos, but it says to short the 2 soldiers on the mobo. it diesn't have pins to short, just 2 little bumps. How do i short it out?
Any help greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!
Happy Holidays!
