ziddey Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 its got a crap via apollo pro plus chipset. now im stuck with windows 98. if i try a nt based whether it be nt4, 2k, xp, it randomly dies on me saying page fault in non paged, irql not less than or equal, or randomly freezes/reboots. 98 is buggy in it itself so id like to step up. iv tried everything there can be done from bios tweaks to flashing it. i did flash the bios about 3 years ago. im not sure if it was before or after but at the time i was using win2k pro beta fine. then i went back to 98 because my old voodoo2 didnt work in 2k. so this said, im not sure if the new bios is incompatible or what? because i needed to flash in order for it to knkow i have a p3 and not a p2. i checked on pcchips lousy website to see if they had old bioses but noo. i dont think this is to blame anyways but it could be. help!

ziddey Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 guess no hhelp? stumped as me? i think the apollo pro plus is actually a 691 not a 693a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziddey Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 also id like to say that i would imagine it has to do with memory. to accelerate the crash, i run memory test in sandra and it halts. i try setting cas3 in bios with slowest timings. i try different ram that i know works in my main machine (cas3 @ pc133, cas2 @ pc100). no go either even at cas3 @ pc100. btw sorry for so many addons, im trying many different threads yet have no luck anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
