Running win98, 164meg ram, 333mhz amd k6, problem is when windows boots about 50% of the time "lwtest" will be not responding sometimes explorer as well. You get a horrendous clanging sound from the speakers.
Recently upgraded the power supply, ramis new and tests ok. Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks...

Well, my first thought, since you get a strainge noise in your speakers is that it could have to do with the sound drivers. Make sure you are using the latest for your sound card. You could have some corrupted drivers that sometimes causes your error when they go to load. Good luck!

Try running msconfig from the run line and seeing your startup options. It might actually show you the program or thing that lwtest is coming from. It could be conflicting with something in your startup menu. Do you have any splats (yellow exclamations) in device manager under your sound card? Or like Answer number 1 you could try reinstalling the driver.
