I have never had any problem with the K6. I'm using AMD processors since 1993. I
used to have their 386dx40, K5-100 (equivalent to P200), K6-300 and now K6-450
and I never had such problems.

Maybe your microprocessor was broken somehow. Have you tried replacing it with
another K6? It might have worked as well...

I can report problems with the Pentiums as well. Problems very similar to the
one you had.
