I believe that it turned out to be a virus (or, so we think)… reformatted both of the HDD’s (when he added the second drive, it went to shit the last time) and seems to work… minus the wireless 
well it sall running stable, well at least from midnight till 9 am this morning it had not crashed at all
strange thing though was my internal wireless card just would not work with that computer, worked last time i did theinstall, just not this time /shrug
so i swapped with another computers wireless card and its good to go
NICE… that wireless joint was a PITA. btw, I got 2000 on that other machine this morning (I still wish we went with the 266mhz machine lol). It wouldnt see the internet connection thru the router though… directly connected it was fine. I assume a driver issue?
win98 might not be getting an IP from the router correctly, you can just manualy configure the IP and you should be fine there, it could be a driver issue, but if it works directly conected then i doubt it
heh a 733mhz for free isn’t too bad 
thanks man, I’ll try messing with it when I get home (if I can stay awake lol).
oh, and do you know how to shut off that error on startup? It keeps saying “no primary hard disk 0 found” or something along them lines then tells me “press f1 to continue or f2 to launch setup”.
If I continue, it loads windows fine… just wierd I guess
disable that channel in your bios
who/what are you referring to?
new problems, think i’m overloading the powersupply, got home for lunch booted it up and it is randomly restarting on me AHHHHH
gonna switch out PS after work and see if that clears it up
oh man… your computer really hates you right now…
what size is your power supply anything like “eh” or better should be ok with your set up
use that 380 watter that had the seperate ground :tup:
edit: n/m I don’t think it had the correct connections
I’m pretty sure I have a 300 watt laying at my apartment. I thought it was broken and bought a new one, but as it turned out, I didn’t have the plug seated all the way. Maybe that new vid card, combined with all your other hardware is overkill?
edit: actually… I doubt it, that will usually happen at full load wont it? not at idle
its a 350W itek PS
about 5-6 months old, i unplugged my second HD and we’ll se if that helps at all
