Hi, try this link for your drivers:

85 to 95 is ok. Anything higher than100 is pushing it. If possible add a fan to the side of the system case (Best choice) or you can buy a south bridge fan. You're MB doesn't have holes in the MB to attach a chipset fan but you can still attach a cooler on to the chipset. Like this fan; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103155
And you'll need this as well for a good bond; http://www.outletpc.com/c2019.html

Enjoy!

Easiest fix for this is to simply remove the CMOS battery, but there also should be a configurable jumper on the board, in the same area as the battery, that can be set so as to return the board to Factory settings.

The one beep is usually normal for most computers. Is your Video card seated correctly?

4 beeps Refresh error RAM is not refreshing correctly. Reset the refresh values in the BIOS or reset the BIOS.

Try going to the Asus website and look for support for your MB drivers and Operating System.

If there is no longer any Win98 support for your MB then I suggest a fresh computer and more recent software for less hassle!
A ten year old OS indicates to me that you might be stuck until you go with the flow!
Cruel but true.
Hopefully the recent cheap prices for computers pre-installed with Vista or XP will persuade you.
