hi all, PC is a 1.4ghz celeron Advance 10T motherboard 384MB memory 2x40GB hard disks Voodoo 3dfx PCI graphics card On-board sound 350W PSU I'm trying to install a legit copy of Windows 98SE. I can do all the Dos functions (i.e. FDISK, format etc) no problem. I get the files transferred then the computer does it's scheduled restart. The "loading windows for the first time" screen comes up then the computer reboots itself, goes into safe mode, gets to the windows screen, reboots etc. i have noticed on reboot, the memory is showing 256mb, and not 384 as is installed. Could it be a dodgy memory stick, or are there any other plausible explanations?
