Hello all. 🙂
Ever since I upgraded from Win95 to Win98 three weeks ago, I have had this strange problem where for no apparent reason, I hear a sound come from my case that normally only happens when I reboot. I hear a little *click* noise, followed by the hard drive grumbling for a second. After the sound, the hard drive light comes on and does not go off, while Win98 freezes. The only way to get out of this is to hit the reset button.
I figured that my problem was that my motherboard had gone bad. I know part of it was bad, as all three fan slots on the motherboard were all shorted out already... so I figured that the rest of it must have been going to pot, too. So I replaced my BX6/Celeron 550/96 M RAM with a FIC AZ11/Duron 700/128 M RAM, and of course formatted c: and reinstalled Win98. Unfortunately, the exact same problems still persist.
I've thought of a few things that may cause this: maybe a bug in Win98, maybe a bad power supply, maybe some setting I need to change in the BIOS. I don't know.
Has anyone else experienced something similar to this? Or know of any possible solutions to this problem? Any comments/suggestions? I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.
