Anyway, the story is, I built a retro PC a couple days ago with these specs:
OS: Widows 98 Second Edition
RAM: 512MB
CPU: AMD Sempron 2600+ (I know, not really retro, but unfortunately our only old MOBO around is TOO old, it doesn't have an AGP slot!)
GPU: Unknown variant of Matrox G400 (Single Head)
PSU: Currently, a Codegen with 550W output and 50-60 GHz
MOBO: PCCHIPS A31G
Additional Cards: SoundBlaster Live! (Was removed to see if there was a conflict causing this, no change)
After some continuing issues with drivers, I finally managed to get it working. However, it seems if the computer has been running for around 10 minutes or more, if I have to reboot, I will be taken to a black desktop with a loading cursor in the center forever, after the windows loading screen goes away.
I'm not sure what's causing this. I doubt it's overheating, as I have re-applied thermal paste to both the Matrox and the CPU.
Any ideas?
