I get hangs such as Page Faults (OE), system busy that stay busy and the worst - auto reboots where it just reboots out of the blue with no warning. Frequency of these events is almost ever time I turn my machine on. After I reboot, I usually can work for the rest of the session with out incident. Maybe I should just leave it on all the time, but I would like any advice at making my system more reliable. I have a AMD 333 K2 and I have heard that my be a problem. Maybe I should go back to Intel with a Celeron.Any input would be much appreciated.

AMD has produced a Patch, which you should download from their site. This patch is only for Windows 95, not for Windows 98! Beside that special problem there could be other reasons for your crashes:
1. Is your processor overtakted?
2. Does the fan work properly?
3. Have you got the opportunity to change your RAM-Modules with modules of an other computer?
4. Are there any "signs" (exclamation or question marks) in Control Panel / System / Device Manager?
5. What Graphics/Video-Adapter do you use? How old are the drivers?

I have run a AMD in mine for quite a while now, it works great. You might want to go to AMD's site and see if there's a software patch for that processor, I don't remember if it's that one or another.Read the last post I just did, talking about cleaning card's pins and pressing down IC's (I know there's a knowledgebase post about that also, maybe try a few keywords there). Bad dust is another cause of some problems. I had a cracked motherboard once, it would screw up with temp changes! Really sounds like memory or other hardware problems, how old is this system? : I get hangs such as Page Faults (OE), system busy that stay busy and the worst - auto reboots where it just reboots out of the blue with no warning.
