Armada 1590 locks on restart after loading Win98
Hi,
I have hit a wall. I wiped the drive and reloaded win98. The load goes alright, but on the restart for the final set-up the machine locks. I can load in safe mode, but cannot find anything. I have tried this several times. I even went back and started with a win95 load, which worked fine. I then upgraded from win 95 to win 98. This worked. I loaded all Compaq drivers and all looked good. Then I tried the upgrade to win98SE, which did not work because the upgraded win 95 did not have all that win98SE needed to load. I then did an upgrade to the full version of win98. This is were my problem starts. The machine locks up during start up. I did a step-by-step load and after loading the windows drivers the machine locks. I am going to upgrade the HD firmeware. I think it is a driver that is locking it up, but don't know where to start or look. Thanks Scott |

Solved my own problem. The harddrive driver OPTi Viper Max Dual PCI
IDE needed a new update. Compaq did not say anything about it. Scott |
