To Basquedog: Thanks for your prompt responses. I don't believe I have any AMD chips. My original chips came with the computer from Dell. I then upgraded with chips from Pc connection. Believe they were EDO non-parity Ram. Will pull the two upgraded chips which were 34 megs each and put back the four 8 Ram ones that came with the computer. Will also try your other suggestions tomorrow. Thanks again. jon

Bosquedog: Your suggestion concerning the RAM worked! However, I ran into some further problems. My computer installed Windows98 and restarted. Then it went to look for installed devices. After 30 minutes of no activity from the machine, I turned it off as per its instructions. I then restarted it and it took up where it left off. Then it gave me another blue screen with this fatal exception. A fatal exception occurred at 0167: BFF9DFFF. I then pressed any key and this jumped up; MSGSRV caused a general protection fault in module SETUPVXP.DLL at 0005: 00000854c. Hope you can pull another rabbit out of you hat because I am stymied.
