Peter:

64MB sounds suspiciously close to the old OS/2 BIOS limit, before
Dani's os2ldr patch, etc. Does Theseus or Mem-whatever show more
than 64MB available? As I recall, the Award BIOS has to be set
for "NON OS/2" for the patch to work (it's been so long...).

Is your memory all on one stick or several? I ask 'cause I've had
DIMMs that didn't seat properly and one bank was sometimes flaky,
until I cleaned the fingers and re-seated it enough times.

Also, I'm curious, how much larger did you make your HPFS cache?
I recall that plain vanilla HPFS will max-out at 2MB, I think.
Surely that's not excessive in a 256MB machine!

You've probably though about all this already, but ....

Regards, Steve
