Other Help Topics :: A Linux Resistant PC
A pantent,hmm. I have a hp ominbook xe2 that won't read .exe so it won't install any windows programs.

Update - I tried the 128 megs of EDO and.....(drum roll) - same old same old. Well I'm all out of ideas. Could it be that somehow there never was support for the 440HX chipset with a Pentium "classic" and SIMM Ram? Anybody??
Maybe you could try the following BSD based live CD: http://www.freesbie.org/
Another possibility is that there is a bad contact somewhere - try to take out every component (cpu, ram, cables ...) and reseat them. And maybe you could try to underclock the system with a FSB of 60 MHz?
