I found the culprit! The error is caused by Geforce 4MX GPU! All works fine after replacing it with Banshee.

Thank you again for the prompt reply. I have no clue what F10 does in Edit but on a normally functioning system, a single beep can be heard after pressing F10. The only other occasion when the error occurs is when ScanDisk loads after improper windows 98 shutdown. And again, the freeze occurs the …

I don't have a K6BV3+, but on my K6XV3+ (with K6-II), the EMM386 is largely conflict-free.[/quote] Thank you for confirming that emm386 works on that motherboard. You said that it is largely conflict-free. Did you play around with the system for long enough? It took me a while to link occasional …

Thank you all for replies. The motherboard is DFI K6BV3+/66 with Pentium 200 MMX and Windows 98 SE. My config.sys looks like this: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE /NOEMS I have to say that I've tried countless tricks with emm386 line in config.sys including X=C000-C7FF and …

Thank you all for suggestions, I will go for the safest/easiest option and invest in EEPROM programmer then. I've heard good thing about TL866CS and purchase value doesn't exceed the value of the board I suppose! Many thanks again!

Hello everyone, I decided to update BIOS on my Socket 7 motherboard with a hope of improving system stability. Unfortunately at the end of the update process error message popped out asking me to disable USB... How can I go about reprogramming the chip now without booting motherboard? How much would …

Hi llopis and everyone. Just so you know, my Leadtek Winfast 280 Geforce 4Ti4200 128 MB as well as SPARKLE SPAG43DH GeForce 6600 256MB appears to work fine with my Dell U2715H when I use simple DVI=>HDMI cable or adapter. Both cards output digital signal with timings acceptable for the monitor over …

Hello! I have a bit of a situation with my main monitor which I also use to play around with older hardware. It is Dell U2715H with no VGA input and a very limited list of resolution and timings it can display correctly, i.e. lower resolutions aren't supported. As you can imagine, in order to …
