Hello everyone,
My old Dell computer is having an issue just now, where it always restarts right after the Windows 98 splash screen and the Config.sys information. It can still boot into safe mode and a command prompt. Yesterday I installed the Windows 98 auto-patcher, which installs all the official updates and some additional tweaks. The computer was running fine at the time.
This is not the first time I had a problem like this. I initially suspected that it was a RAM issue, because when I removed a memory stick, the computer booted normally. I first had the issue with 640 MB or RAM, then 512 MB, and now 256 MB. The last thing I did before this occurred was that I was installing AOL 9.0 VR. Then I realized that it was no longer supported. So I uninstalled AOL, and when it was complete, it told me that I had to restart my computer. I clicked yes, and that was when the problem began.
Here are my computer's current specs.
Windows 98 SE
Dell Dimension XPS T500
256 MB of RAM
Voodoo 3 graphics card
Intel Pentium III 1 GHz
