Running the P2B at 100 mhz clock speed will lock up Win98, the system boots
fine but then from 30sec to 5 mins the screens blanks and I am left witht he
power led flashing and one dead system. Reset will not work and the only way
to reboot is to hard power off.
The system will working with no problems if:
a: I run it in safe mode ( mother board at 100 mhz)
b: I run in normal win98 but clock down the mother board to 66 mhz
I have also tried a Matox Mill G200 ( AGP) and Matrox Mill (PCI) in case it
was a graphics problem but still no joy.

Now, if you have bought a "Boxed Pentium-II" chip then it's authentic since
Intel was the direct supplier of that chip and remarking isn't what is causing
your problem.
Hope this helps.
Change your SDRAM, seems so that it's not stable at 100 MHz. Try some
another PC100!
Or try to play with your BIOS-Timings. Fast-settings?

Go to Intel site and get utility CPUID. This will tell you what CPU you have.

Intel Microprocessors

Let me know how this works for you.
