Thank you,

Both of cashe memory? Little slow?
LOL!
I would say - toooooo sloooowwwww... As well as 386 PC - You can check it...
So, problem with cashe... If with disabled in BIOS L2 cashe system worked fine - You should resolder on-board cashe memory (may be,bad tag IC),or leave it as is - it will work just bit slower,and You won't be able to use UDMA option for HDD in Windows.
But if You had to disable (as additional) L1 cashe - most likely, what CPU itself is fried (L1 cashe gone bad). If so,try
to underclock CPU like it was suggested.
Cyrix 300 CPU is running hot (especially if it's version with 2,9V core),so good big cooler is mandatory... Right now I have one fried IBM (Cyrix) 166MX CPU,what now works normally only on 60MHz FSB max (i.e. as 150 Mhz CPU) - not at 66Mhz FSB,as it was originally designed for...
