K6-2 cache and Win 95

[Guest]

I recently upgraded from a pentium 133 to a K6-2 400 MHz.
I formated the c: drive partition and reinstalled windows.
About 95% of the time, when windows 95 OSR2 is loading, it comes up with a Windows protection error when loading "IOS" or a protected memory error. The only way I can fix this is by diabling my level 1 cache in the BIOS. Unfortunately, this slows down the computer. I'm really hoping this doesn't mean I have a bad chip. I thought that "maybe" the online retailer screwed me by overclocking a lesser CPU to 400 MHz. I can't check this because the heatsink/fan was glued unto the CPU. I remember a program that will tell you your chi speed rating. Can't remember though. What do you guys think?
I have a
ECS P5TX-Bpro w/ AMD K6-II 400Mhz
64 Megs EDO 70ns DRAM
Matrox Mystique 4 Meg
Soundblaster 64Gold
3COM 10/100 905B-TX
SCSI card for UMAX Astra 1200S

It`s not the CPU. The problem is [-peep-] windows. U need to install a patch because there is an zero division without it. This patch updates some VXDs in your system.

You should send your emails and such privately. You never know why kind of freaks are running around here!

Thanks for the advice Pettytheft. I know better. Brain lapse.

Oh, and KingNothing. Thanks for the offer, but I found the file I was looking for on the microsoft webpage.
I remembered reading about this problem years ago, but I had forgotten what it was all about. Thanks again.
