Had the same problem with XP locking up. Win98 ran fine on the Pc. The problem was
in the BIOS. Win98 does not do any power management. It lets the bios take care of
it. With 2000 and XP (not sure about Linux) the OS controls power management and
is conflicting with the older bios version. A BIOS upgrade solved the issue for me.
