But for now to prevent any further data loss when you want to shut down go to run and type cmd -> shutdown -r ( to abort) type shut down -a hope this helps for the time being if this computer does not have a windos CD until you get one....

Depending on what socket celeron you have most likely socket 478 or 775 I suggest the heat sinks with Arctic silver 5 applied to give you the best results. You should definetly find out which socket you have that'll determine the type and price Heatsink cooler you'll need. Throw in a couple 80mm...

Before attempting to edit windows registry check the BIOS and make sure you dont have the floppy drive or 1.44mb disk drive disable or set as "NONE." If its a super drive change the lable from 1.44 or whatevers there to LS, ZIP, or Superdisk. If it is a basic floppy drive 1.44mb then set it to...

evidently..... a) The "super disk" drive was defective b) That wasnt the original drive because nowhere in the current BIOS does it have an option for ZIP/LS/2.88mb floppy drive conclusion..... Solved by taking another scrapped computers floppy and windows recognized it on first boot...

Is the heatsink fan plugged in ? in the correct spot? if could be a the processor overheating on boot.

Did you try taking the cpu out and heatsink then reseating them or If your screws on motherboard are tighten all the ways as tight as it can go loosen them all. Not to where the board will fall off but just enough to keep it up Ive had grounding issues with the skt 754 version myself. When...

A new PSU would be suggested Thermaltake or Antec are good brands try a 430-550watt psu. You definitly dont wanna burn out your new system possibly rendering your parts useless with a generic PSU that comes with the case trust I've had it happen to me. Newegg has a thermaltake 430watt power...

Bestbuy has a seagate 120gig drive for only 59 bucks 62.99 for me after taxes (I got the western digital 120gig that was on sale last week). Its a steal and if you have a best buy in the area you can get this right away. No waiting for shipping from newegg or Zipzoomfly and you save 5 bucks...

Depends on your board and if your board has high overclocking status. Even then it up to the luck of your draw like someone else that has your exact same mobo model may not be able to clock as high as you. Every board has different limts and this also applies to the processor as well i just got...

Thanks, yea I only got a 400mhz increase with default voltages thats about 2036mhz but I wanted to go higher could'nt stop my wonddring fingers.

Big B, do you think this thermaltake is just as good as the one suggested by KSing? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817153023

Yea this guy on hard forums that informed me after I said I didnt know much about overclocking that 2.2ghz(which was my previous goal) was nothing for a 2800+. especially since he got to 2.7 on the 2500+ that the lowest sempron 64bit I believe ( unless theres a 2400) he mustve been lucky buying...

This may not be much of an overclock for most, but to me its almost as good as my good ole 3500+. I got my Sempron 2800+ 64 to 2402.7mhz or 2.4ghz that is a 800mhz overclock I could go much more, but I want to wait until tomarrow when I get a Zalman 92mm heatsink fan or a thermaltake Big typhoon...

Try Biostar TForce series or Asrock Geforce 6100. I have the tforce and it is stable, good graphics on board compariable to a Geforce 6200. The overclocking for a MicroATX is unbeatable right now im at a 730mhz overclock. New BIOS frequently too and that is a plus comes with several extras, but...

In my device manager it says Nvidia Geforce 6100 under display adapters under adapter info in the display section in control panel its says this Adapter information: Chip Type: GeForce 6100 DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC Memory Size: 256 MB Adapter String: GeForce 6100 BIOS Information...
