Hi 2 all!!

One of my friend have a P4 desktop with win98 installed. But now pc boots only in safe mode and shows "protection error" "illegal operation". Normal booting is not possible. SO i had formatted it, but the problem continuos. One of "PC doctor" told mother board gone!!! But i told him that i will try to solve the problem. But I could not!!
Can anyone help me please
It is urgent!!!

Thanks in advance

Win 98 installed on P4?? Dats nice one! Anyways install Xp now and then tell!

Which motherboard is it and also tell if it used to work earlier??

do you mean software pc doctor or a technician?
try the drive in other computers(not your own) and see what happens
then try using the motherboard with different parts and see the result

Not nice, very nice. Mostly the new PCs and Mobos have little margin for 98.. why not install XP and let us know?

S i have planned to install xp, but when installing 98, there was problem. And I had formatted the pc because same pro was t here earlier.
