Sorry I can't get you more information much quicker - I'm in the middle of exams atm, and I can only get into the computer lab randomly. I'll try to copy out some BIOS settings - mine's one of those user-friendly graphical ones that doesn't expose you to many cache- and chipset-related options. Although I'm not executing autoexec.bat, I've got a batch file called setup.bat which sets PATH=, DJGPP= and loads doskey. The path includes my \WINDOWS\COMMAND directory, then \DJGPP\BIN and \NASM. Nothing untoward there, I assumed? In the way of bizzare peripheral devices, the only slight difference I have is my SCSI card, which DOS doesn't recognize. Having said all this, the whole thing's behaving itself a lot better recently without much input from myself. It will now usually crash only the first time you run make - after that it's usually fairly reliable until you reboot.
