Ok guys...
Problems:
a) Windows started crashing more frequently
b) Wouldn't show any pictures...monitor wouldn't turn on during boot.
c) After it started to show again...during windows load screen...just locks up.
Steps taken so far:
1)Windows boot says that windows is damaged...so I repaired windows...no luck though...still locks up during boot and says Windows is damaged right away when loading the CD.
2)Tested Graphics card, tested RAM. Both good.
I'm 95% sure its a hardware problem (75% of that is the motherboard due to a previous problem with wierd noises(link below))

Any other ideas?
As we speak I am installing windows on a different HDD so we can eliminate the HDD from the list of potential problems....and that just leaves the CPU and motherboard. But either way, he will just upgrade both as it's not worth staying with his P4 2.4 Northwood.
Thanks, ps2cho
