Why don't you try your XP upgrade again from 98SE? I upgraded from that and the system is 100 times more stable..I've had the UG installed for about three weeks and haven't used the reset button yet. With 98SE it was two or three times a day..JamesJ

When you reformatted your harddrive and reloaded Win98SE, it only put the basic Windows drivers onto your system. You need to check your Device Manager for any contentions; !, ?, X, which would indicate the proper drivers are not installed and possibly that several of your peripherals are sharing IRQs. You also need to install the controller chips, sound, graphics adapter, modem, NIC and any other peripheral drivers. One of the most important is the controller chip drivers. You need to find out which controller chips your MOBO is using. Look for VIA, Intel, Sis and find the latest drivers for your system. You may have earlier drivers on a CD that you own. You also need to update Windows98 via Microsoft's update website.Since you probably haven't loaded too much on your reformatted system, I would try loading WinXP again. If successful, you also need to update WindowsXP via Microsoft's update website. The proper drivers are necessary for WinXP, as well.
