Well, at least I'm not blaming it before considering other things. I've had more than my share of problems with motherboards using VIA's KT133 chip, and when I was told it might cause it, it came to me as no big surprise. Well anyway, even if this is not the cause of the error, something surely is. And I don't know about the power supply thing, how come Win2k would take any more toll on it than Win98 or Linux? Both 98 and Linux work on the system (well if you can ever say that Win98 'works', that's why I'm changing to Win2k).
Well anyhow, here are my system specs:
AMD Thunderbird 750MHz
MSI K7T Pro2 motherboard
ASUS V7100 Pro GeForce2 MX400 3D-card
Creative SoundBlaster PCI128
3Com 3C900 Vortex/Boomerang Combo LAN card
Maxtor 30GB HD
Seagate 20GB HD
Plextor PlexWriter 40x24x10
Samsung DVD drive
512MB SDRAM
BIOS settings are only slightly changed from the default. As CyberGenX said I might to have to try to pull out the network card and soundcard etc 'unnecessary' stuff and see if that helps.
