DESCRIPTION: 486dx2/66, 8Mb, System running W4WG 3.11 intermittantly crashes with a variety of GPFs. Checkit v3 and NDIAGS will crash the system doing a memory test if EMM386.EXE is loaded in the config.sys, but will report all memory OK if EMM386 not loaded. Winprobe(v4) does NOT report any memory errors so long as Smartdrv is not loaded. With smartdrv loaded the system crashes when I begin the memory tests. The system has an AWARD BIOS and all memory addresses are set to default in setup. These problems have only been occuring since VIXEN installed a CD ROM and soundcard and upgraded memory to 8Mb from 4. I know the customer should go back to VIXEN, but customer wants to keep the business local now. I have checked all the interrupts and can find no clashes. Any ideas anyone ? -- Tim Stannard
