Trouble with Windows 95 on Pentium 133 MHz Machine - Possible cause?

Hi,

on my Pentium 133 MHz PC, 16 MByte RAM, DOS and DOS programs run without 
problems, but Windows 95 is very unstable. Often I get fatal errors (when 
the systems switches from then grafic display to the text screen) and 
they are often non recoverable. Also I get registry problems.

I do not think it is a software problem because I just installed a new 
Win 95 and got the same problems.

What is the most probable cause on the hardware side? CPU overclocking (I 
did not change the CPU, but the manufacturer put one in which is not 
quite capable pf 133 MHz), memory problems, ...

Is there any good hardware diagnosis software available?

TIA

Luidger
