    Exclamation BookPC going crazy!

    Ack! My brand new book pc is going crazy. I am using a K6-2 450mhz chip and have tried different RAM (from 32mb - 128mb pc133) and tried different hard drives, tried disableing all the onboard periphirals while installing windows..... Ive tried everything. Whenever i try installing windows, win95, 98 or ME, i get a random error while installing. ONCE i was able to install without errors, but got errors when entering windows. There is no pattern to these errors. Any suggestions?

    Cool

    Sounds like bad memory or motherboard, especially if you are getting CAB file errors.
