hi all,
a couple of days ago a letter was posted entiteled "HELP US HELP YOU".
really it was a good initiative and i appreciate it.now as per the instructions i tried to search my problem answer through GOOGLE.but ended to be a feckless and a wild goose chase.what i wanted was an answer to the problem of unpredictable(as far as my ken goes) hanging of my system.
the stats are
1)system configration

P-III 886 Mhz
128 mb ram
20 gb segate harddisk
intel 815e moterboard(INTEL)
a cd drive(SAMSUNG)
cd writer(LG)
and a floppy drive(make UNKNOWN)
samsung multimedia keyboard
(p/s2) wheel mouse(make unknown)its a plug and play one and runs on the
drivers provided by the windows.it dose have a specified driver of its
own.

2)there are 3 os on my system
red hat 7.2
win 98se(primary partition)
win xp prof.
i use grub boot loader

3)the system has a nic card and a modem .but is presently not connected to any network.i have norton antivirus 2003.and avg 6.0 .


now the problem is
during the boot up as the windows 98se screen is displayed if i just
some bunch of keys say arrow keys repeatedley 4-5 times my system will
go numb the 98 will load but neither the mouse interacts nor the keyboard.and similarly if i use my too roam about too quickly or fastly
the system literally goes numb.in both the cases only option is restarting the computer.in XP also sometimes the mouse create problems but the chances are 1/10.and in linux albeit the mouse some times makes
stooping movements but it never hangs it out.
ALSO I M A regular user of 98 in my system.so that may be a reason that i can figure out the problem in that OS more immaculately.
also there are times when the mouse attached to the system but win 98 gives me a no mouse error.and if i try to reattach the mouse the SYSTEM HANGS.

now i have done the following
looked for driver confliction if any found none.
the system resources are usually above 75%.
even reinstalled the whole OS thing.
checked the mouse ps/2 port the mouse pins.

i really need help

till then.
