I got my W98 box all nicely built up. But it was crashing every so often. So I swapped out the 1 GB RAM (dual 512MBs) for one 256 MB RAM. A little better, but would still crash occasionally under load. Okay, this mobo doesn't officially support Tualatin, so swap out my P3S for a 1 GHz CuMine. Nice and stable.
Then the floppy drive stopped working (BIOS gives a "floppy failure" error.) Sheesh. Okay, disable floppy drives. LS-120 and DVD drive started acting flaky. Okay, disable THEM. Then it just powered off. Front panel power light still on, but nothing else. No spinning devices, no other lights.
AAAARGH!
