Is there a page somewhere that lists blue screen errors or something to the effect? On my old system I had blue screens on top of blue screens. If pressing "any key" didn't work after several screens I'd have to do a cold reboot. My new system is just starting to display blue screens but only after running GPL or N4 for a while. (a blue screen and/or booted to the desk top). I can only assume these are coming from the way I'm loading the software. Fdisk, Format, I believe are from Win95 (but don't quote me). With only the HDD, Floppy drive, Video card, and CD rom drive installed I'll install Himem.sys, mscdex.exe, (not sure of the versions) the dos CDRom driver (correct for this drive) and reboot. Then install Win98 upgrade using a Win95 upgrade CD for the upgrade checker thing. After Windows is installed and any drivers that it asks for I shut it down and reboot. Shut it down again and install the MB drivers. Shut it down - reboot- shut it down again. Then install the SBLive card and drivers. shut down -reboot- shut down. Next is the Network card using the drivers Windows finds (realtech drivers, pretty sure that is the card). Shut down -reboot-. Grab all the upgrade drivers for each card and reboot between each install. After installing N4 and GPL and running either one for while (N4 about 2 minutes and GPL for about 30) I get booted back to the desktop or a bluescreen appears. There has to be a problem with the way I'm doing this because I'm starting to get the same problems I had with my old system. Any suggestions? I wont tell you what system I have because the old and new systems are completely different but yet I have the same problems. so...

Sounds like your system might be overheating. You should try and monitor your system's temps (CPU, system temp) and see if there's a relation to your problems. The CD that came with your motherboard might have such a monitoring program, or check the motherboard manufacturer's homepage.
The dip switches where backwards! (frequency and multiplier). Did 30+ laps in N4 at 1072x780 (or what ever), x 16 colors with all graphics and sounds maxed out. Plus did some painting of the track with the rear wheels to create as much smoke as possible and then watched the replay. Before resetting the switches I would have got a max of 20 laps with only some graphics turned on.
