my new comp locks up all of a sudden?

by alfretto . Updated 23 years, 2 months ago

The problem pc has win98 se, and was on a dsl modem till last nite – i deleted the ppoe adapter in network properties, and had no problem getting it to go online or operate while connected to router/cable modem until today.

i had just ripped/re-encoded one of MY dvds to the D drive – plenty of room – and was about to do the final prep when this Asus m/b/AMD cpu based pc blue-screened me – it did it last night once or twice, but now the blue-screens are near constant – the message is

“An exception OE has occurred at 0028:0241E0C0 in VxD –. this was called from 0028:C1C2A428 in VxD scsi1hlp(03) + 00000508.”

then after a hard reboot, it froze again and the resultant blue screen message stated that the “exception OE occurred at 0028:1C10C1 in VxD … called from … ” same as above

win98se
amd1700
asus av733 m/b
512k ram
40g WD caviar/120g WD caviar
built in soundcard
prolink 440 mx vid card
linksys net card

it all worked fine, i had just re-set the router and hooked up the cables and made sure that this Asus was recognized correctly by the router.

Its frozen now, wont respond . . . I did remove the Enternet 300 app that DSL uses, and did a registry clean, and i added Norton Utilities 2002 last nite to defrag the C Drive.

I’m not sure where to look, hope that the fatal OE message can give you a clue, thanks in advance, will be looking in.
