Windows Registry Checker - Hardware Problem?

[ajp3jeh]

I am struggling with an Iwill KK-266R. I have done approximately 30 installs of Win 98SE since Monday. I have solved most of the problems (most by abandoning SB Live) but continue to have a corrupt registry according to the Windows Registry Checker. I can run Norton Utilities and have it detect "no problems" and then have a corrupt registry when I reboot. I am running the most current version of the Iwill Bios (4-16) and the most current Via Chipset Drivers (4.29). I am running "Georges PCI Latency Patch v 1.4" and the most recent drivers for the on-board sound. Is this a hardware issue with my system or an incorrect error being reported by the Registry checker?

This is my system (in Fong Kai 302 with 300 watt approved PS)
IWILL KK266-R
1.3 Ghz Thunderbird (266 version)
256 MB PC150 Cas 2 Crucial Memory
LeadTek GeForce 2 MX DH Pro
40 GB Western Digital Hard Drive
30 GB IBM Deskstar (data backup)
C-Media On-Board Sound
Pioneer 116 DVD
US Robotics ISA Modem

Where's MasterTech and his "See what you get for buying AMD? Intel systems NEVER fail and ALWAYS work w/ NO issues of any kind" comment?

double check the multiplier/fsb/VOLTAGE settings. in my experience, when i used win98 (and winME did it too) and overclocked a bit too far or didn't raise the voltage enough that was the first sign of instability. i would tend to trust norton. basically, make sure you are not accidentally overclocking (not likely but i figured i'd mention it) and make sure the voltage is set right (it's a possibility and it would result in the registry error on startup). if this is the problem, i'm sorry but i don't know the default voltage of the 1.3 (but my guess would be 1.75 volts)

I chased a similar problem in a Pentium system for several days. Ended up being the memory.
