I'm trying to learn by playing with our old PCs- pulled 3 dead ones apart to build one that works. The MB is an SE440BX-2 (Intel) which I think had Win 98 on it. I put in a HDD with Win98.
When I turned it on it said 'incorrect system disc'
Put the startup floppy & Win98CD in- it started up fine (Yahoo!!)
Tried to install Win98 & it works for 2 or 3 min, then freezes. Whatever I do it freezes. The fans seem fine.
The MB has been lying around for a year or more with no CMOS battery in it- is that bad??
Any suggestions O wise ones??
