Windows Forum / Windows 98 / General Topics / April 2004Win98 locks up after processor upgrade to 3.06g P4
Just upgraded my machines processor from a P4 1.7ghz to P4 3.06ghz. Although my motherboard (Abit TH7IIRAID) doesnt offical support the 533fsb I managed to get it working using a mulitpler of 23 x 133 FSB and locking the AGP/PCI and memorys. Anyway it seems that as soon as windows 98 is loaded and it locks up at the same place all the time. I dont think its a program thats loading up as its done it before any programs are loaded - asking for the drivers for a device. I can't work out what is causing the lockups and it works fine in windows safe mode. As soon as I put my P4 1.7 in again it works fine (tried this 3 times). I have windows XP on a removable drive and it works fine... I ran prime95 for 3 hours and also memtest runs fine on XP. So I think some driver is loading up or something in windows98 is loading up which doesnt like the P4 3.06 processor. Is there anyway to find out what driver is causing it to lock up ? I tried removing devices in safe mode but when I boot up again it detects them and loads them back up. My inital guess is it could be the RAID HP370 drivers but its hard to pinpoint since there are no conflicts. Anyone have any idea what it could be or what I can do to track it down ?

So did the network driver fix the problem or is it another driver or something else? >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] >find at what point the startup fails. >. > So did the network driver fix the problem or is it another > driver or something else? > >-----Original Message----- Its not NDIS as im using WIN98SE and it doesnt have this bug. I dont know what it is... and im having to use bloatware XP to type this :( I tried the bootlog.txt but it freezes here: InitDone = TSRQuery [000400FF] Starting Unknown (HTREE\RESERVED\0) [000400FF] Started Unknown (HTREE\RESERVED\0) [00040100] Enumerating Unknown (HTREE\RESERVED\0) [00040100] Enumerated Unknown (HTREE\RESERVED\0) Terminate = User Terminate = Query Drivers EndTerminate = Query Drivers Terminate = Unload Network EndTerminate = Unload Network Terminate = Reset Display EndTerminate = Reset Display EndTerminate = User Not very helpful!! > X-No-Archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > TIA Not sure if this applies: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;312108 Win95/98 has problems with 2.1ghz or higher.

I am running a 2.6 Celeron with no problems yet it'S only 6 Mth old. But I ro recall something about Win98-SE and Hyperthreading causing wierd problems that is the reason we setteled an 3 2.6 machines. >-----Original Message----- >X-No-Archive: yes [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > >. |
