I wouldn't put it past Win95 to try and use APM even though you have it
turned off in the BIOS.  One thing that might be worth a try is going into
Control Panel, double click on "Power" and un-check the box next to "Allow
Windows to manage power use on this computer."  I'm not sure if that would
help or not, but I don't know what it could hurt.
