This is something I've never encountered. I was running my Turbo at 100 FSB and my 900@900 and all seemed stable and fast when last night I got a blue screen during a reboot. I didn't write down the complaint so I rebooted. Just when that damn Win98 startup music starts to play I got another blue screen. I couldn't start the OS so I decided to reinstall the OS without reformatting. Upon "starting Win98 for the first time" I was a couple seconds into that intro wave file when another blue screen. This time I jotted it down:

Invalid VxD dynamic link call from VSDATA95(01) + 0000E1C8 to device "0028", service 800A.

Ok, now I reformat C: drive and install Win98. Again at the same time I got a blue screen:

Fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:263C74C1

What is this about? Well, to be entirely candid, this morning I finally boxed it up and sent it back to the vendor. Later today I ordered an IWill KK266 to replace it. I just hope the IWill will be a less challenging experience.

Note: the bios used was the file ?.10g

hmm...it's a pity u returned it... i like my K7T... stable as hell (i'm running Win ME), with my Tbird cruising at 145fsb... my only gripe is that MSI had better release some new bios for it soon coz the beta bios they have now are kinda buggy...
