I tried searching for these mainboard drivers but they seem so hard to find.
Without these drivers, I can still install and run Win98, but I get one too many bluescreens.
The system is not stable without them. (I think)
Can anybody help me?

Are you using Windows 98 or Windows 98 SE? The only drivers you need for that motherboard, are the chipset drivers for the AMD 751 chipset.

I have uploaded them to my Google Drive for download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HKNWYuM6wJTY … iew?usp=sharing

It would also be best to perform hardware diagnostics, to ensure that you don't have bad RAM, hard disk, or some other point of failure. Is your power supply an old 20-pin variant? Are the capacitors bulging? Blue screens could mean anything, when not properly diagnosed. Slot-A is also a very power hungry platform, and requires a fair amount of amperage on the 5V rail.

I'm using a 350 watt psu 20-pin variant. The 5v rail has 32A.
