This is a problem with AMD K6, K6-2 processors. Microsoft used a timing
loop in one of the device drivers (IOSUBSYS, if memory serves), that
breaks on 350MHz+ K6s. Nasty. My advice: install the patch from Microsoft
_before_ you upgrade (if possible), otherwise you may have to reinstall
Windows.

Bye,
