Motherboard Problem? Asus P2-b

My son has a asus p2-b with a celeron 400 128 megs pc-100 and it had been locking up. So i ran forefront troubleshooter software>no faults found. I then (not in this order) flashed the bios to 1012,replaced thehd,memory,cables,processor power supply
It only has a video card in it. After i fdisk the mbr format the drive and install win98. I can lock it up by going to the date/time in control panel, i then use the arrows to scroll thru the years it will then lock up..after changing all the components i suspect the motherboard but the troubleshooter software says otherwise.

any suggestions would be appreciated!

First of all,check CPU's temperature.
Is the CPU fan spinning fast enough (about 4500 rpm)?
Did You try replacing ... mouse <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">? Antivirus?
I have the same motherboard, by the way. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

thanks for the tips.
Ran antivirus and changed mouse,
It seems only to lock up/corrupt display when i use a agp card, in this case a diamond siii540 card. I had another in the house and a voodoo 3 3000. Same problems with these cards. A pci card works fine,yes i cheched the bios agp settings. And the agp jumper on this board.
It seems to be a bad slot or agp subsystem if their is such a thing..

Anyone one else with something i missed?

It's really sounds like bad AGP slot - sometimes it happens...
I just hope You have enabled starting AGP before PCI in BIOS settings? Yeah?
Also I would check power supply, try another one. Weak 3,3v power line could cause videoadapter's problems.
