Blue screen as in "Fatal Error has occuerred"

well he said that when he runn application , it gives him that kind blue screen

Hrm...seems to me like that could be just about anything. Have you flashed/tried the latest BIOS? Are you sure all your voltage settings are correct? What about PCI and AGp dividers? Did you swap your old mobo out, in order to use the P3B-F? Cause Win98 absolutely HATES it when you replace the mobo, it generally screws it up pretty badly, and requires a reformat. That's all that immediately pops to mind...anyone care to add?

Well he tried the mobo with a older celeron, it runs fine...

and he has the latest bios...

i told him to run the system with just the essential...

well he doesn't know the PCI, AGP divider yet...

Hrm...double check the voltage. If he's been switching between the two, its possible that it's trying to run the C2 at 2.0V, or something like that. Just a thought. Good luck with it.

Do you have a friend with a system you can try just the CPU in? I can't explain what's going on for you - that would be a good way to test and see if it's the chip itself, or something in your system.
