Trying to fix this old computer, it had some fatal exception errors so I reformated the hardrive and started to install 98 se
but
after 15-20 minutes after copying all the files and starts the final steps it gives me this error... here is the message

0028: C003BD1E in VXD VFAT (01) + 00003DF2
Application will be terminated
then i press any key and gives me a Blue rectangle and black background and freezes.
I restart and do it again
it then gives me the error
WINDOWS
A fatal exception OE has occurred at
0028: COO05338 in VXD VMM (01) + 00004338
Application will be terminated
and then freezes the comp when doin the clock settings
I really don't know what causing this.
THnx for your help
Do you have an AMD K6 processor?
If yes, this fatal error is caued by processor overheating.
I would delete all partitions on the hard drive & start over, this time copying the Win98 setup files to the harddrive before running setup (to rule out a faulty installation CD). If you get the same problem after that, your RAM (or even your mobo) might be faulty, or like Cyanure said overheating could be a problem. Good luck. You might also wanna try resetting your BIOS to factory defaults.
The core voltage of your CPU, which I'll bet you have a AMD K6-2 550 or a K6-2 overclocked to 550, is probably the 2.2v version... Well just bump the voltage up from 2.2 to 2.4v. Don't worry you won't damage it! The best stability is attained with 2.4v. Just make sure the fan on your CPU heatsink still spins so it doesn't get too hot... Bingo you're back in business! Your welcome!
