My system is:
Cpu: 1200mhz athlon t-bird c-type
Motherboard: asus a7v133 bios rev 1004
Soundcard: soundblaster live
Vid Card: creative geforce2 gts 32MB
Hard drive: Ibm deskstar 40g
Memory: cas2 256mb pc133 sdram
I gathered all the parts for my computer around 3 weeks ago and haven't had any problems until recently when installed my sound card. Since then no amounts of formating and reinstalling win98 have done much good. I get a wide variety of blue screen errors, and windows protection errors. Each day i seem to get a different type of windows error.Just an hour ago my comp froze so i rebooted to find some more blue screen errors. At the moment when i load up windows and try to run a game I get a vcache(01) error. So i checked in my asus probe utility and it was using 100% physical ram to run the game. Rebooting doesn't help the problem. Also when my comp crashes a windows protection error comes up followed by another error in the next reboot stating my himem.sys.
When i run scandisk in win98 and look at the boxes there are no bad clusters but there are a whole bunch of boxes that represent data that cannot be moved I have never had that on any of my other computers and have no idea if that is good or bad. When i try and defrag my system a white box comes up that gives the option of ignoring or canceling the defrag, when i hit ignore to continue with defragging it keeps coming up, making defragging impossible.
I downloaded the diagnostic program amidiag from tweakfiles and ran must of the tests and received mulitiple errors on the extended memory read test, and also a checksum mismatch on the acpi test. I am not sure if it is just bad memory or maybe motherboard problems causing all these problems. Any help is very much appreciated.
