Run a Debug/Fdisk/Format & Then reinstall the OS,
If the problem re-occurs it may be either Hardware or the WinDisk is corrupted.

hi ,

i have did what you mention many many time and it didnt help , it is a fresh install with only a display card .

Pull the system back to a minimum configuration.
Video and drives only.
Disable ALL onboard periphials and ports.

Format the Hard drive, and start over.

If it still fails, you may have memory that is not compatible with the motherboard.

Ihad a similar problem recently, and finaly tracked it down by installing W98 onto the hard drive with it in another system.
When I put the drive back into the target system, I was able to see which hardware device was locking the system up. In my case, it turned out to be a bad USB controller on the motherboard.

hi ,

i'm not sure if it is a memory problem but i have try with many many other brand .

i have also try to install win98 in another system and put it back , it still give me the same problem , i think it should be the mainboard or cpu problem .

Hi all ,

I have decided to destroy the board and hammer the cpu , i think this will solve my problem .
