Check the CPU bus speed setting. Initially, the jumper
(JP2) was set to 'Auto' from the manufacturer (L4VXA2 P4
motherboard; Celeron 2.66 GHz CPU, 400 MHz FSB) Changed it
to '533' (I'm running one stick of 512 MB DDR RAM. When I
first started XP and W2K installs, I first had to disable
L1/L2 cache which of course is really slow, and after
reboot re-enabled it - still crashed. Resetting the mobo's
bus speed corrected the problem. Now it flies!
