Good morning to you Jim, how are you today ?

        This was the problem with this old P166 here, Jim. I wiped the
        HDD and then a scan showed quite a few bad ones, near the start.
        After a couple of scans, I reloaded it Win 95B and it has not
        frozen on me yet. But ! That HDD is quite noisy, some much !
        Even with the covers on the cabinet, I can hear it loud. I
        installed the "savior" HDDs from Montreal as D: & E: and when
        accessing these, there is no noise to be heard. I think that the
        previous owner had some data on these clusters and when the
        system was trying to access them, it barfed a BSoD. Do you agree
        with my theory ?

        I will bring it home, implant a P233MMX in it and use it as a
        test bench. It is a socket 7 so this is as high as it can be
        boosted.
