| 30298 | 2002-01-08 08:56:00 | Help lease! My computer is experiencing a bout of crashs during boot up. Just as the Desk top is about to show, a thin striped green line runs across the top of the monitor & it freezes on me, although sometimes it will just try to reboot again. I am running Win98SE, AZ11 Mobo, Duron 800, GForce 2 Mx Video card, Genius 5.1 Sound Card.I have re-installed video & sound drivers, updated 4 in 1 Mobo drivers, reformatted the harddrive & re-installed Win 98Se all to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? |

Easier but less scientific, hold down shift key on bootup to avoid startup programs (or is it control? I forget). Or start in safe mode. Whatever you do, remove fastfind and fastart from startup. And that stupid shortcut bar. Just some thoughts to start with. robo. |

| 30301 | 2002-01-08 10:14:00 | Thanks Robo, I had a look at the MSCONFIG start up menu & saw a lot of things I didn't really know anything about. I did disable Zone Alarm & Cookie Crusher at start up as well as Q3D control panel for the sound card options. Their was also 2 entries for Load Power profile which were identical, so I disabled one of them. I will run for a day ot two & see what happens.Whats the minimum that should be enabled at start up? Thanks Andy |
