problem with epox 8kta3 and cdrom drive

[cavill]

hello
i have finished building a computer for work this evening consisting of
epox bkta3 mobo
duron 1000
128 pc 133
20 gb seagate ultra ata 100
geforce 2 mx
samsung 52 speed cdrom

i have fdisked, formated and installed windows 98 first edition
the next thing i tried to do was install the driver cd that came with the mobo but it came up with a setup caused invalid page fault, the computer would freeze when i tried to run the cd

so i installed the cd rom drivers that came with it (floppy)
then i installed video card drivers from a cdrom (no problem)
tried mobo driver cd and system froze again
i tested the mobo cd rom in my other computer and it started okay no setup fault

i downloaded the via drivers and have managed to install the via 4 in 1`s and that is all

office 2000 installed from cd rom okay
so i hoped it was working but a different cd rom i tried to install wont work i try browsing to open it and it hangs with the egg timer thing for about 5 minutes, if i have to reboot to get back to windows, i need to restore my active desktop

does anyone know how to fix this problem with the cdrom not working on this mobo
would flashing the bios sort it out,?
if i need to flash the bios is it easy?

thanks to any one who can help
