Win 98 Se reg/startup!
I have currently had various upgrades to my PC. A seagate 13gb HD, Gigabyte GA-6VXE+ MB, ATI rage Fury Maxx 64mb, P3 Coppermine and a slot1 to socket 370 converter. Everytime I started windows after a few hours of upgrading the registry kept trying to restore! I have since formatted the H/D and re-installed all programs and drivers. Every first boot of the day does not work! The system.dat and user.dat files seem to need restoring. I do this and try to load windows 98 SE and a general win protection error comes up and stops loading windows. Press ctrl+alt+del and reset and loads windows happily for the day and any time I restart. Occasionally though the day when booting windows there will be a msgbox saying"an internal error in windows, windows will attempt to restore the registry". It does this and fine! Why am I having trouble loading win98 se smoothly?

It sounds like a problem I've had a few times. The only way to clear it up was to run ScanDisk on your hard drive and select "Automatically Fix Errors." It only takes a couple of minutes and then you're on your way. Then reboot and try it again.
Good Luck!

What mainboard and memory are you using? I ask because I am having a similar problem with a new PIII 600 EB on an Abit BE6II with PC133 RAM. If I reboot all is fine, but if I completely shutdown and restart I get a regitry error and it restores. Can't figure this one out.

Well I was using a P3 650 coppermine intel Flip Chip and a IWILL SLOCKET2 raiser card and 128 mb of ram!
Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-6VXE+
The raiser card converts a slot1 to sock 370
I swapped the ram no change!
The bios is the latest and says it will support coppermine! So took it back to my local shop, tried different things, In the end I have to have a P3 450 Slot1 Intel to cure the problem. Runs sweet now and processor speed difference you can not tell! So I have not got as a good as sytem but it is stable! I'll be happy to give you any advice on the matter!

Maybe the slocker adapter was goofing off and causing the problem
I have the Asus p3v4x with the Asus 370dl slocket and my system runs fine, I love Asus boards since they have a nice bios to work with
I was thinking of power supply while reading your post but you seem to have resolved the problem, could have been a bad processor as well https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2000/09/1.gif

Format c:( reboot,reboot,reboor,reboot )

sounds like voltage to me

I tried two different slot converters.
Also I thought I had a good motherboard. Wrong, it has no temp control and no cpu voltage control and so will only run 2V cpu's!
The system still does not switch on first time!
