Hi!
I bought my new computer a week back.
Specs:
PIV - 1.8Mhz
Via Motherboard
DVD LG
CD-R LG
LG e700b monitor (17 ")
ATI Radeon 7500
Onboard AC97 sound
I have installed both win xp and win 98 SE as dual booting
I am facing numerous problems with both these OSs
1. Win XP sometimes locks up especially when using graphic applications.
2. WIn 98 Se -> Whenever I am running any games, the system hangs.
I ran Midtown Madness, Motorcross Madness 2, Fifa 98 and all of them lock up instanly.
3. I am using catalyst 2.91 drivers which were provided on the driver CD.
Should I install the latest drivers with both OSs. Or is there any motherboard conflict, etc.
Please help

Check the system information tool of windows to see if you have any IRQ conflicts/sharing, if your graphics card and sound card are sharing a IRQ, it's probably the problem.
I would think its either your sound card or video. Try going to ATI and downloading some newer drivers. I would also say the same about the sound. I suggest trying a different sound card. The onboard stuff just doesn't cut it. I would go and get all the latest drivers for your video and bios. Do it for both OS's. I really wouldn't think you have a IRQ conflict
But after you do your downloads and you have the same problem than maybe you do. ATI is really bad on providing drivers so good luck.
