It seems like a hardware contention problem of some kind. Any thoughts? I think you are on the right track. I can only guess..I try different things just like you are doing. I have two ATI Expert98 PCI cards but only one is installed. The Abit board is preferred by the overclocking crowd. One has the ability to alter CPU settings and voltage settings from the mainboard bios. This is an advantage if one wants to overclock the popular 300A Celeron CPU to 450 MHz. There are other mainboards that are rated higher from a hardware compatibility point of view. The ASUS P2B and the Aopen AXB boards receive high compatibility ratings at Tom's place tomshardware.com I think pae may have the ASUS p2b with ATI cards in a multi monitor Win 98 setup...are you there Paul? Do you see any yellow check marks in the device manager when in safe mode? Have you tried two PCI cards only..without the AGP card? Is there another available PCI slot you can try? Do you have any other expansion cards in the machine? Do you have the latest QDI bios? What is your primary card PCI? or AGP? Can you change it in the bios. If you can you my want to inverse the sequence and see what happens. Zeuspaul
