Win95 Protection Error

[Guest]

I'm having a problem with Windows Protection Error. I have
a Soyo 5EHM motherboard which I'm trying to use with an
AMD K6-2 400 CPU and Win 95B. (I need Win 95 because it's
a PC for audio recording using a Turtle Beach Tahiti sound
card, and there are no drivers for Win2K, XP, ME, etc).

I obtained the motherboard and CPU to replace an existing
mobo/Pentium 200 MMX system. I reformatted the 8.4 GB hard
drive, and reinstalled Win95. When trying to boot up, I
got the Protection Error every time. I tried putting the
old Pentium 200 CPU in the new (to me) Soyo mobo. It boots
up fine, everything works perfect, network connects ok. So
I assume the mobo is ok, maybe the AMD 400 CPU has a
problem. So I obtained another AMD K6-2 400 CPU. I get the
same problem, with Windows protection error.

So the question is, do I have a bad mobo, or two bad CPUs?
The mobo works perfectly with the Pentium 200. BTW, all
jumper configurations were set properly for the various
CPUs.

Thanks. That seems to have did the trick.
