    OK, I decided to format my drive and do a clean install to get rid of all the junk over the year. I am running 98se (I AM happy with it.) Durning the installing process, I had to format and start over 5 times because I started to get VMM errors

    Last time, I keep going and installed my support programs and optimized my system and this went away.

    Now (today for example) I had my system re-boot on it's own 3 times while I was on the net (reading) today. 1 time I was also d/l'ing. I have changed NO hardward and ALL the fans are working. I alos get a BSOD once an a while:

    0D 3564:C1938958 which does not end any program.

    I was not having these problems before and now I am.

    Any ideas???

    Before my system was rock solid stable...

    Fixed it. Seems I needed to update my video drivers since I am running DirectX 9.0c. Before I was running 9.0b.

    After updating the drivers, the problem went away... the old drivers did not like the new DirectX... go figure...
