So I've basically given up on trying to fix this, tomorrow I'll reinstall windows.
I have a old AMD K5 PR133 system that has 2 x 32mb Sticks 72pin EDO ram. It was running good. So I foolishly added 2 extra 16mb sticks. Was fine for a for days.
Come today I needed to remove the two 16mb sticjs because I need them for a second socket 7 system.
I start windows, and its just done... it just locks up while loading freezes, safe mode. Eventually I unistalled the drivers it started working again. Once everything detects sane issue comes back.
Wasted 3 hours of trouble shooting, adding the ram back, checking boot logs, no clues.
Anyome had anything like this happen? Can just removing ram cause issues like this normally? I dont recall windows 98se being this tepromental. 🙁
A fresh install will be nice though. I want to use the two systems for network games of Warcraft 2 etc
