- My Win3.0 installation works fine, but my Win3.1 upgrade randomly
- halts w/ a white-on-blue "system halted parity errors" message
- onscreen. I have re-loaded my Win3.0 & it runs fine even when
- stressed with something like 3 rows of icons worth of programs
- started, incl. lots of graphics display programs. I re-upgraded my
- Win3.1 upgrade & get more parity error system halts. Re-upgrading
- with a friend's Win3.1 disks does the same thing.
-
- I have low-level formatted my disk, have plenty of disk space, run all
- the diagnostics I have -- DiskManager that came with my Seagate disk.
- (I don't have a copy of CheckIt yet, unfortunately.)
-
- Forgot to bring in the important manuals, but my config is something
- like:
-
- motherboard: DTK 386-20 "Fast20" w/ 1 meg on board
- RAM board: DTK 32-bit bus w/ 8 meg
- disk cont: DTC 7728(?) RLL w/ floppy cont.
- disks: 2 277-r Seagate 62 meg.
- video: ATI VGA Wonder w/ 512k (I have 3.1 drivers)
-
- Please help if you can...it's driving me crazy. Bob
