SUWIN errors
Been working on pc for friend, its a 233mhz processor, 4 gig HD(really old but he cant afford a new one) its got 64mb RAM and win 98 on it. Problem is it was constantly getting blue screen of deaths, fatal exceptions etc. I thought i would try doing clean install, but getting constant SUWIN errors, ive been reading up on these and know its mainly caused by RAM, can anyone point me to a RAM testing program, i used to have one on floppy that ran from DOS but i cant find. Also if anyone has some other input on this it would be appreciated. Cheers

There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got
your hand or head stuck in something

Test the hard drive while you are at it.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

Ive had 3 different errors, they are :
Suwin caused a general protection fault in setup.dll at 0010:3386
Suwin caused a general protection fault in user.exe at 000b:0094
Suwin caused a general protection fault in krnl386.exe at 0001:0001
Any help appreciated. Cheers

Every time I've experienced SUWIN errors, especially during Windows 9x installs, on circa-486 and -Pentium systems, the culprit has been a bad motherboard.
If you have spare memory, hard drive, etc. to swap and test with and you still get the SUWIN errors, the mobo probably gave up the ghost.

Will the powermax program from Maxtor work with this drive(its a seagate) or have they got their own diag tool available? Cheers
