Memory or Motherboard Prob?
I was given a secondhand computer ( P4 1.5g Abit BW7 m/b) with no hard drive or memory. I fitted a hard drive (formated it) and 128mb memory. The computer booted and passed the POST. I went to load windows 98se however and this is when problems started.
Part way into loading it stops and gives "Bad Fault in MS-DOS Extender" and "SUWIN caused segment load failure in module KRNL386.exe at 0001:947D"
A bit of research said maybe a memory problem so I put in a brand new 256kb Kingston Ram. Tried all slots. Still same problem. Some other research suggested disabling the cashe. I did this and managed to load windows (took 4 hrs !).
Still no luck though. Gives "fatal exception 0E at 0167:BFF9DFFF"
Next morning the computer booted into windows ! Hoo ray!!!
But it only lasted about 2mins and gave a fatal exception error again!
HELP
Is the Motherboard a dud?
