Just built computer having issues with video. I try to install win98 after successful startup and after about a min or two the monitor stops recieving a signal from the video card. It's not the monitor, works fine with any other computer...

Only way to fix the problem is to fully reboot...of course again after a min or 2 the monitor stops receiving.

specs:
amd athlon 2200
gigabyte ga-vrxp
512mb ddr 333
tnt2 32mb vid card
40gb 7200rpm 8mb cache

Try rebooting it in safe mode and DOS mode, and test it again.
