Help me out guys.

My friend has an HP Computer that won't boot in to windows on a cold boot. It hangs on the windows 2000 start up screen. The blue bars are almost half way through. However, if he restarts his computer it boots fine in to windows. This computer is 3 years old. Could it be the bios battery...

Will the life of my computer shorten if I raise the fsb too high while overclocking. Like 7.5x148? And is my voltage at 1.89v killing my processor?

I don't think the price difference on a 200 and 266 is drastic.

I don' t really think it makes a difference, but buying a 266 would be less of a hassle. If you buy a 200, you just have to connect your L1 bridges and set your multipliers lower.

I put electrical tape over my L1 and L7 so the pencil lead wouldn' t wear off. Is that ok to do? Will the tape melt off?

DLF, it worked!! Thanks

DLF, I'll try that

I guess no one here wants to help me

I have an MSI K7T Turbo. I'm having problems starting it up on a cold boot, I have to press the reset button. It recently started happening again. It was working fine for the past month. Occaitionally, it will start up on its own. Anyone here have an idea on how I can fix this?
