I have a AZZA PT-5IVH mobo, with 64 meg RAM, Cyrix 686-P200 CPU, 20 gig Maxtor drive, Stealth II S220 card with Monster 4Meg 3D accelerator and Pine Tech Crystal PCI sound card.
I have reinstalled Win95 original version.
Windows did a pnp for some of my hardware. I had to reinstall the drivers for the sound card. I used the drivers on the installation CD and later checked for the latest versions on pine tech's website (they were the same).
Now I get a blue screen with Fatal Exception 07 error message as Win95 tries to load. If I remove the sound card in device manager (while in safe mode). Once I restart, pnp finds the card and then reloads the drivers and I go back to the blue screen error.
I was able to boot win95 but first I had to remove the sound card (both in device manager and physically remove card from mobo).
I then tried to put in a "new" Montego II sound card but when I plug that into the mobo, the system doesn't even finish POST, it locks up.
The Pine Tech sound card and the Montego II sound card are both new. Before that I was running an old ISA Soundblaster Pro II card, but I was having problems with that as well, (the gameport no longer worked on it).
Can anyone help me here?
Is it a bad motherboard or what could be causing the problem?
I went to the AZZA website and d/led the award bios flashupdate and the appropriate bin file. Should I try to flash upgrade the bios? Or can that make things go from bad to worst?
Also would changing out the Cyrix CPU for an AMD k6-233 help anything? I can get one for 20 bux.
Or would upgrading the operating system from Windows 95 original version to Win95 version B be of any help?
Thanks for your advice.
