eMachines D2880 running Windows XP home. Intel Motherboard
had been replaced with HP 090 CL about a year ago. Computer didn't run particularly well before the mother board went out but was even worse after the mother board was replaced, including system crashes that did not previously occur.
Just did a non-destruct reinstall of windows but the problems persist, including system crashes. Before and after the restore, Mozilla frequently crashes and even IE crashes. Before I waste any more time trying to fix this, am I wasting my time. The system has plenty of power for what I need it to be, so I am not dissatisfied with its specs. But I need a stable system. Is that possible after replacing the eMachines mobo with an HP one?
How about if I just got an XP disk and install that instead of the eMachines restore disk? Would that do the trick? I can't afford to keep wasting time trying to fix a machine if it is never going to work properly.
Any advice would be appreciated.
