    Athlon wouldn't boot - Solved !

    Actually that temperature I specified is under full load. Well, 100% - indicated by windows task manager. I'm running this UD agent client, crunching some computational chemistry nights and days away. I'm not sure whether it loads the entire CPU or not, but that temperature is after the CPU...

    Grid computing - a good reason for overclocking

    I've always been a fan of trying to speed my system up and learn how to do it. But apart from the pure enthusiastic interest - there really wasn't anything in it for me.

    Computer reboots every few minutes

    Why would you want to take the motherboard battery out ? To clear the CMOS settings ? Isn't there a jumper on the motherboard for that ? Most of them have a special jumper that you can use to clear CMOS. Other than that - I would suspect some severe overheating. But if you're saying the cover...
