Does anyone have any experience with the AK76-SN mobo from DFI....I am trying to figure out whether or not it is a little flakey or whether it is something else.

I am building a series of systems (Athalon 1.2, DFI AK76, 128 MB Crucial DDR, generic AGP 32MG, generic sound, allied 350 W PS and 3com nic). I tried installing WIN98SE and rolled it out - I got intermitent crashes (hard locks). I looked around and found out that the nic had records of problems (3Com knowledge base) with these lock ups so I have put in a Linksys nic.

In my 'infinite' wisdom, I decided that WIN 2K would be a better bet but have had crashing problems with it to - although not on the client side - I haven't even given it back to them yet.

Anyway, I have already reformatted once and am in the process of reinstalling the updates (SP2, VIA 4 in 1 minus the AGP VxD, AMD AGP filter driver). I am almost certain (with my luck anyway) that the system will start crashing again....

If anyone has any suggestions as to where to turn next to trouble shoot, I would appreciate it.
