Power supply is not common? and you started with as few components installed as possible? You are SURE that the clock and bus ratio jumpers are correct for the CPU? It appears to be hanging at the point that Windows is setting up PNP devices. You don't mention peripherals such as CD ROM and Sound card. You might copy the WIN95 directory from the CD to the HD and run setup from there (disconnect the CD - Every once in a while I run into a CD the Windows won't coexist with). Please post the solution when you get it fixed. -Andy
