Odd windows 98 hanging at boot
Posted by Newumbrella If you need to turn off your machine for like 2 hrs before it can boot again i would say that something in your computer is overheating. The two possibility are either CPU or PSU. Check and make sure all the fans are working properly and it's clean, sometimes excessive dust can cause components to overheat. If the components are operating in a overheated condition for prolong period of time then these two components may starts to fail (not completely but enough to make the system unstable.) Next if everything is clean and fans are ok then try to update the following things: 1. Latest BIOS 2. VIA 4-in-1 driver 3. Nvidia video driver 4. realtek driver I would suggest that you to upgrade to windows 2000 or windows xp, as 9x series are relatively old OS and your system are capably of supporting these newer OSes. |
