Just bought the following set up:

Pentium III 866 @ 936mhz
256 mb Crucial @ 144fsb cas2-2-2
Asus CUSL2-C motherboard (BIOS revision 1003)
30 gig Quantum Fireball LM 7200 rpm ata/66 HDD
Yamaha DS2416 Professional Audio Card
32 mb Leadtek Winfast GEForce2 GTS Video card
72x Kenwood TrueX CD-ROM
12x10x32 TDK VeloCD CD-R/CD-RW
1.44mb Teac Floppy
Black Hydraulic Case with 300w power supply
Microsoft Natural Pro Keyboard
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer
17" Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 710 Monitor

and i have my own home theatre connected to the PC eheh =) no BA's here. Anyway

THIS is my problem:

I installed all my software last night, everything was running smoothly. I installed windows 98 as my OS. Then I upgraded to win98SE and after I did this, the system hangs on the "Windows is shutting down" screen every time I restart (or it needs to restart after installing drivers etc) and it won't restart. I did this 2 nights ago (upgraded from win98 to win98se) and the same thing happened as soon as I installed SE. The strange thing is, it restarted fine before installing SE. Are there any known issues with win98se not restarting? Any help would be appreciated.

Give the link below a try. I am suprised you are having that problem though with a brand new motherboard. Hope this helps!

Also make sure that you have all the power management settings correct in your BIOS...it could be something about that ACPI or whatever it is called. I will check later when i get home...i have an ASUS CUSL2 and i am using WIN98SE also!

I upgraded to this patch and had even more problems than before. My USB would no longer work, and I was getting blue screens all over the place, eventually the system wouldn't even boot. Nice patch Microsoft! Anyhow, I've formatted and I am just going to install win98 instead of SE because it was restarting fine before I upgraded, I don't even know why I did. Bleh. Thanks guys for the help. Hopefully win98 is more stable than SE. Seems odd though doesn't it?
