Any help is appreciated.
My pc locks up 3 times straight after booting up, I usually leave it on most of the time. Now I have to restart it by shutting off the cpu rocker switch which I hate to do, and then reboot and go into what I want to do right away.
Should I disable the power shutdown/standby schemes or do you think I need to reinstall 98 SE?
TIA
PC locks up in standby mod!

I remember, that when mine oldie Abit ST6R mobo go to the powersaving mod, it never wake up - ever except hard reboot
Win2k used, SP1 selected in bios and stuff...
I quess that for some mobos it simply don't work out. Solution? Disable powersaving into control pannel (any winblows) and be happy Or buy better mobo, or chack bios settings, or/and complain to the mobo maker...

Actually I found a few precious moments last night and had to boot into safe mod.
Some weird exe was also loading upon regualr bootup and so I recalled its name and renamed it while in safe mod.
I rebooted in regular mod and found my screen saver was on for one minute?
Also I had standby to kick in at 5 minutes and hard drive to shut down in 5.
I disabled all energy savers and set to zero, put no screen saver, I don’t recall ever setting up a screensaver, virus? I then ran Norton antivirus.
Did a shutdown, bootup and set hard drive only to shut down/standby at 5 minutes and left the other settings to never. The Athlon tends to shut down both fr and exhaust fans anyways after it is cool enough.
Is working fine now! Maybe I got a virus, I dunno. Weird.
