I reset the CMOS, but it still doesn't function. Battery?

I recently killed my old CPU by accident and I bought a new one. This one: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819116175 The one I broke was a Northwood 3.06GHz Socket 478 When I installed the new CPU it started up normally and it told me to go to I think "Soft...

Yes, I updated my drivers today. I played a small ocean wave animation I made in winamp video player, but it didn't have that problem. When I try to play videos in like VLC player, BS player, Windows they all give me the colored lines. I'm stumped.

When I watch something on say... Windows Media Player colored lines run through the screen. I'm not sure what is wrong. I recently changed from a 9800 Pro to a x700 Pro because my 9800 Pro died. This problem happens with all my video players. Thanks

My CPU fan made loud beeping sounds yesterday and I'm sure that means its a failing fan so I'm trying to decide on which one to buy. I'm still using my 478 Northwood :P. Anyway, I was wondering what kind of brands are recommanded. I was looking at Artic Cooling a while ago and wondered if they...

For some reason my computer has shut down random times whenever I'm doing something. When I played Command and Conquer: Generals this happens all the time when I try to play in mutiplayer. This also occured as I was watching something. My computer specs are: Intel P4 3.06ghz 533mhz 1 GB...

Lately my PSU has been making almost like a buzzing noise. Is this the sign for a new PSU?

Today, I installed a new mobo and ram. I'm sure I connected everything right because the power turns on, but the cd drive doesn't light up and its making me annoyed. I hooked it up to the IDE. Oh, if you connect both your cd drive and Hard drive to one IDE does it slow performance?

Hello, I recently registered on to anandtech forums. I'm currently play with 3D programs like Bryce 5 and sometimes my renders require a few hours to render completely, but the problem is I don't want to render it during the day time because I'm using it most of the time. So when I leave it on...
