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!

Is the CPU fan spinning fast enough (about 4500 rpm)?
Did You try replacing ... mouse ? Antivirus?
I have the same motherboard, by the way.
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.
