I think I'll stick to "hardware problems". You might have bad memory, or there might
be a heat problem.
It's clearly not the CD or CD drive. It might be the hard drive. Boot with the
Setup floppy, and run ScanDisk. Let ScanDisk do a full surface analysis. This will
rule out the hard drive as a source of your problem.
Good luck.
