Last week I had a rock solid overclocked system dual booting
W2K Server and WIN ME. Apparently I had left the update
notification running. So i get a message, new updates avail~
I DL the update package. My computer suddenly was crashing like crazy. I booted in 2k server and even THAT started giving me grief! Crash Dumps all over the place. I Fdisked the C drive and attempted to re-install WIN ME. I got it installed but was recieving error messages before the install was even completed. Data on other partitions is reading as corrupted (not all of it, but the occasional file)
The CPU is not overheating. Anyone else have their PC and their FAT tables go all to hell after running the update?
 
Run a virus check. If worst comes to worst take it to a shop and see if they can recover your data. You might want to consider Win98se. I don't trust WinME. I would contact Microsoft and let them know about your problem as well.

It just dawned on me that you could be overheating as well. I was unable to install windows when I built my mom's machine with a crappy HSF. Are you getting random and sporadic errors?
