I hope someone may be able to shed some light on this problem :

When installing Windows 95 OSR2 (using the correct OEM preinstall
tools), the installation routine freezes at the blue "Getting ready to
run Windows for the first time" screen.
The hardware is all new, and passes software diagnostic tests.
Two new motherboards have been tried in this PC (both new LSI TX
chipset boards) and the SIMMs have been replaced.  I have also tried a
different hard drive.
The only common part is the CPU, an IBM M2 P166+ MX.   Could this be
the cause of the freezing ?
