I have found another thread with things similar to this but I had already posted this. Still if anyone has and ideas it would be appreciated.
I have this right now.
AMD Athlon 1000
M810LMR Mobo from systemboard (www.pcchips.com)
HP 9100 series CD-Writer
512 MB PC-133 SDRAM
50x E-IDE CD-Rom
Windows 98Se
Generic 49GB Hard Drive.
MY sound and graphics are integrated in the mobo and I have the most up to date drivers for everything. The problem is that I keep having it crash and there is no pattern. I will start up a game and 5 minutes in it will crash. I will try run a movie and it will crash. I will be typing in word and it will crash. I will turn it on and it will crash before the icons are up on the desktop. THe big problem is that I can't seem to find a pattern, nothing happens twice in a row and the time it takes to crash varies. Some games don't crash (JK2) and others won't run for more than 10 minutes. The games that crash are old and new. I've had MOHAA crash as well as Starcraft and Tribes 2. The only reliable game I have right now is JK2 and the other day it crashed twice (for the first times).
I have tried reinstalling the games. Formatting my hard drive. Uninstalling Norton Virus Scan and Firewall. Shutting down everything on my comp except Explorer and systray. But no matter what I do things still crash. Any ideas on what could be causing it are apprecitated.
