My computer was working fine. I shut it down and moved it a bit to clean in its area. Then i moved it back and plugged everything back in, and now it is saying "Your CPU may have a problem" in the voice thing that says errors. 🙁

It's an AK73 motherboard with an Athlon Tbird 1Ghz. No overclocking, retail HSF. 🙁

Any suggestions? 🙁

Try reseating your CPU and apply new thermenal compund, also check the CPU for cracks and "shipps" that may have accured when you moved the computer.
And make sure the videocard haven't lost connection, reseat it.
All I can say for now.
 
Completely remove and reseat your CPU, that's usually the culprit.

Don't worry so much! I know the sinking feeling one gets when power-on fails and it's always been this. 🙂
 
I reseated the CPU and reset the BIOS. It still didn't work. So I took out every component I could and it booted! 😀 I Then put them all back in one by one and it still worked. I don't know what exactly the problem was. Could be the TV Tuner Card I left out because I don't use it any more (terrible win2k drivers). But anyway, it all works, and I can live again! 😉
