Make your thread titles descriptive of your issue so people who might have relevant knowledge notice the thread. There are countless threads just titled variations on "help pls u gaiz."

"Or something"? If you can't be bothered to even take an accurate note of what the error message is, why do you expect people to make an effort to assist you?

 

Post the full specs of the system. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

I'll elaborate

 

it just says "Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer."

 

I installed the drivers thru nVidia TNT2 drivers I downloaded off the net

 

amd athlon 800

312mb ram

16gb SD card as HDD

TNT2 

 

edit: drivers coming from the .inf file

I'm pretty sure he uses SD cards

 

but this isn't helping me with my whole computer-not-booting issue

 

I uninstalled the driver and w98 reinstalled it without my permission.

so yes, crappy drivers just bricked my windows install. thanks nvidia.

 

still dead. I give in, I'm reinstalling Windows.
