Here's my comp; Duron 700 on an A7M266 (BIOS 1005) with 2*256 MB of Crucial PC2100 RAM, a Gainward GeF2 MX400 card. a Netgear FA310TX NIC, IBM deskstar 20 GB HD, LiteOn 24*12*10 CD-RW all powered by an AMD-approved Allied 400W PS. (I've also got a 40 GB HD, a 50x CDROM and an XP 1600+ waiting for my system to become stable.)
I've been having MAJOR stability issues and it got to the point where it killed my HD. I repartitioned and reformatted it and tried reinstalling win98, but I got a whole lot of errors and BSODs during the setup, and when it finally got installed, I'd get Suwin, Parsedls and Mvg32 errors, to name a few. I came here and some people suggested that I upgrade my PS (then a POS 250W), which I did. Still no luck. Then I thought that I might have bad RAM, IDE cables or a bad CD-Rom/RW, but I've eliminated all those; I get the same problems with a different IDE cable, I get the same problems with both the CDROM and the RW, and I get the same errors with either of my sticks of RAM.
The HD works flawlessly in the family computer, but once I put it in my comp, it gets uglier as time progresses.
Sorry that took so long, but I want to make sure that people know how to answer, provided they can.
Also, please don't suggest XP or Win2k. I know that this isn't a software problem.
