hey guys, im sure you guys are all experts, and maybe you could help me. I'm having a little trouble with a computer that i built myself. First of all, my page file usage goes up when i use azurues or if i just leave my computer on for a couple of hours. But when i check my memory usage, im only using about 50% of my memory! it really puzzles me, so maybe one of you gurus can help me. Also, i sometimes get this error wheni turn on my computer. It says CMOS startsun or something failed, defaults loaded. And from what i know, thats when the battery on the motherboard is failing or something. This has happened to me twice, but my computer is only about 4 months old. any help would be appreciated guys!

Hi,
Yes you are right about the CMOS battery.
That would be the first thing to change to troubleshoot the problem.
If after that you still get the same probs, then do post back.

Always try the simple things first.
Also, please post the specs of your system next time just so we have an idea of what there is.
