Within 10 minutes of startup my computer restarts when the hard drive boots. After that it just restarts most of the time. Windows XP restarts on startup. DOS programs run perfectly. Windows 98 sometimes restarts on startup, and otherwise Windows and Windows programs constantly show illegal operations, blue screens, Mozilla Quality Wizards, restarts, etc. Downloads, especially compressed, are corrupted and scandisk errors run all over the place. Interestingly, turning off the L1 & L2 cache in CMOS blocks all errors except restarting on boot.
So is this bad caps?
Why does turning off the L1 & L2 cache fix it?
Why does it run differently within 10 minutes of startup?
Why do DOS programs run?
