Hardware is Contaq 386 mobo, 8x 1MB 70ns SIMMs. When I run Windows 95, it crashes soon after the desktop appears. I see a BSOD. It says the system has halted because of a memory parity error. I then run Memtest, and it cannot find any errors with the RAM. That test took over an hour to run!
If the RAM is OK, could the cache chip(s) be bad? I think I will change them, and see if Windows 95 runs correctly. I have just run cachechk.exe (cachchk7) on this mobo, and as it was checking the cache, it reported "timer messed up!", which suggests to me that the cache could be bad!
