OS VERSION: Windows 95

DESCRIPTION:

I am building a computer with a 100 MHz
PC Wave MB, a AMD 350 MHz 3D NOW CPU,
with a 32 meg dimm of PC 100 memory.
I occassionally get the following
message when it boots up:
"While initializing device IOS
Windows Protection Error:
You need to restart your computer"

Sometimes the error message will read
as above, only without the first line
"while ititializing......."

Do you know what is causing this and
what I can do to eliminate this error?

Thanks for your time.

Chuck,

It is a known problem with the AMD 350+ processors. Sorry...no fix. Just kidding. Download the patch at the following URL which will fix the problem.
