I have quite a strange problem. I built two systems exactly the same. Gigabyte GA5AXR motherboard, AMD K6-2 550, 64MB PC100, ATI Expert98 video, Creative Labs CT4810 OEM sound, Aopen FM56-PM modem, Afreey 50X CDROM's, Panasonic floppy, and a 30GB Seagate hdd in one, and a 20GB Maxtor in the other.
Anyways, while installing Win98SE, i get a RunDLL32 error. This happens a few minutes after entering the product key. If you close the error box, windows will continue installing. Everything seems to be ok, until you go online. You can connect to the net, but after a few minutes, i'll get an error stating that IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in MSHTML.DLL, and it closes the IE window. This keeps happening even after reformatting a couple times. And then the bluescreens start appearing (FIOLOG, and a few others). Quite frustrating.
I've tried swapping memory, CPU's, video cards etc. Maybe we got a bad batch of some part? (i work at a pc retail store, so we have quite a few parts available to work with).
Any ideas? Thanks
