I've had incomplete installs and such due to a faulty memory stick. If you have more than one memory stick installed, try pulling out one and check the system, then reinsert it and pull out another one and check. Just a thought.

Canterwood chipsets are very ram sensitive because of high memory speed, you can test your ram compatibility with running "Memtest86".
this is stand alone test that will create bootable floppy and you should boot PC with this floppy, run it for a while and see if you get any errors or not.
