    Trouble installing Athlon XP 2500 chip

    It could be a crap power supply. That's what happened to me recently. Machine starts up, but no video. Definitely wasn't the video card. Had a feeling it was the PSU. Got a quality Antec one and everything works.

    Thanks for the recs. Also Mucker, are you saying that the Asus utility does not report the correct temperatures? I indeed have an Asus motherboard. Should I add about 10C to the reading that I see?

    help.. DVD-R problems

    Yeah, I mean that there might have been a manufacturing defect. For example, the dyes weren't spread evenly on the disc. Have you tried burning more than one disc? Sometimes a few discs in a batch are bad but the rest may work fine. And you're saying that your burner and software see the blank...

    Windows XP Pro system utilities unstable?

    Those are symptoms of a bot infection. It is most likely an agobot/gaobot variant. What you should do like Fencer said, is run a full virus scan. I'm pretty sure with this type of of infection that the virus is shutting down any installed anti-virus software as well in normal mode. So here is...

    help.. DVD-R problems

    When you say none of your dvd drives can read it, do you mean just stand-alone dvd players or your PC dvd drive also? You might have gotten a bad batch. Sometimes you have to stick with what you know works.
