I'm rebuilding a MSI 6368 ver 5 MOBO and came across an error I don't know? The MOBO boots fine and starts loading scandisk on windows 98 but only to a certain point and then the computer instantly powers down? No error messages or anything,pc just turns off? Scandisk never runs past 90 percent? Other times the pc just boots up,runs POST and mem check and same thing happens? HDD error? Mem error? Frequency error? Personally I would think HDD error,but some input will be appreciated thanx? Why * +

Yeah sounds like a dodgey sector on the hdd! Download hdd rengenerator. Try to get an old free version if you can. It's comercial now but will fix a few for free. Well none really fix anything just recover and re-allocate the sector and update SMART properly! * +

yes it is,cpu temp constant between 38 and 42 degrees celsius,unless thermistor is lying,but I don't think? I've also changed HDD,so can't be that either? PC now also boots into win xp, but screen colours are all warped,so I changed mem as well,but no luck? * +

I'm confused! Win 98 or XP? If it boots fine into xp but the colours are wonkey it's probably a driver issue.. if it's Xp sp3 it's a world away from win 98 so issues will differ a lot! Why not get a new linux distro,(try mint xfce,bodhi,or puppy, they're small and fast) boot it up. If everything is fine it's just a compatability or driver issue with microsoft. * +
