SETUP WIN 95
WHEN I TRY TO LOAD WIN 95 TO A NEW HARD DRIVE I RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE, SETUPX.DLL (A GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT), AND WHEN I TRY TO GET OUT THE PROGRAM SHUTS DOWN. THE ERROR COMES OFTER SETUP CHECKS THE SYSTEM AND HARDWARE IN THE COMPUTER.
Can you try it with different SIMM chips?
Are you loading from CD-rom? If so try creating a Windows\options\cabs directorys and then copy the Win95 directory from the CD-rom into the c:>\windows\options\cabs.
Run setup from there.

ryans got it right. Every time (about 6 now) that I've seen this message, it's been bad memory.
Have a look at this document and see if this helps,
There can be alot of different things that can cause this problem including bad hardware, but have a look non the less and see if you find something that helps you here. You may have to register and fill out a 5 minute form to access the Ms Kb.
