The Plaid lock up at boot up with G400

[EmpirE]

Sorry to burst all your bubbles....

BUT PLAID LOCK UP IS NOT A HARDWARE FAULT ALONE

i have been tracking this problem on my system for weeks...and guess what...

It only happens on Win98 (orig and SE)...

Win95 OSR2 and NT4 (sp3 4 5 or 6) works just great with not a single episode of plaid lock up.....even with DX7 on '95

i would have to say my money is on Win98/Matrox driver combination rather than the M/B or Athlon Combo...

i currently run win95OSR2 and NT4 dual boot using the Asus and athlon 550 at 600 with no probs....but once i boot up to 98...bang it goes again....

make of it what u will, but i think it is just anouther of Gates failures in win98.

So,
Did you update the BIOSes or not?
