In the BIOS, Turn the HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capabillity off before trying to install.

what does the BSOD say?

 

[TheMajor]

it doesn't say anything in windows 98 as far as I can remember

 

[killians45]

doesn't? damn, that sucks thought it did... been along time since I've been in win98

 

[waynejkruse10]

does anyone know about a fresh install of windows having a bsod?

 

[TheMajor]

its a hardware issue, take out unnecesary parts and replace RAM or take one stick out and try with one stich at the time (if u have mutiple)

What exactly is the message that u get on the blue screen if u have sumthing like 0x0000xxx (where x could be any number or alphabet) or may be if u get a stop and a message u could tell us what the exact problem is and then i can help u much better
