does this sound like a RAM problem to you?
my parents computer (with win98) is having some issues. If it does boot up and work, it'll work for awhile. At some point, it will crash and restart. I don't know what it says, cause I haven't seen it, but it crashes and restarts. On the restart, it is unable to load windows saying the himem.sys file is missing. If they try rebooting it again, it continues saying this. If they leave it off for awhile and try again, it'll boot fine and then work until it crashes again.
I searched for the himem.sys error and found a page saying it's either the file itself or it's the ram. To me, I would think it's the ram because if it were the file itself, it would never be able to boot up. Any second opinions?
