I know the problem has been solved but I thought I'd share my techniques :

>>actually seeing it. If that isn't the problem, try using one 32 meg EDO

That won't work because pentium boards must run with matched pair simms.

If I have problems installing os software on a new system, I first replace
the memory. If this doesn't work I go into the bios and disable both the
level1 and level2 caches (internal and external) this will usually fix any
processor related problems. If it *does*, check the CPU voltage settings are
correct. If they are correct you can pretty much bet on a duff cpu. Although
it will solve the problem it's not practical to run a system without cache
so return to your vendor with a bat !

You know you need a holiday when you say :
"I'm very tempted to install the Windows 98 beta this weekend".
