"It's a motherboard problem" means something hardware related is messing up. I've had RAM chips fail on me that allowed me to reload the OS but blue screen during startup. I've used the "It's a motherboard problem" a few times when I really wanted to say, "Look, this thing is dying. You could put more money into it and try to fix it, but you are just going to be wasting your money. Don't repair this, it is NOT worth it."
Then they could also be ripping you off, it's hard to tell when you don't have the PC in front of you.

From a quick scan of the specs for it, you are better off buying something new. It's a P4, which means it's 5-6+ years old. That's about the average life span of a PC. Yeah you might be able to get some more life out of it, but you are better off giving up. If you are having major problems with it now, it is not going to get better. I've seen 10 million dells like yours coming through my shop and work places that are dying like this. I've told people point blank, "This isn't worth it."
