I have a good running homebuilt AMD system using an ASUS AN8-SLI Deluxe mobo and a Socket 939 AMD 3500 cpu. The BIOS is v10.16 which supports dual core. Other than physically changing the cpu and heatsink, do I only have to clear the CMOS before installing an AMD 4800 dual core cpu? The...

Hello jayneparadis: When you say that "the CD is the one that comes with new computers", are you referring to a recovery CD that some PC manufacturers use or a Windows 98 CD? If it is a Windows 98 CD, you might check out this link...

Hello Putbinoot: If you go to Run>msconfig>Advanced, is "Disable fast shutdown" checked? If it is not, you may get the reboot problem.

Hello JonathanB: It's a really tuff question. Results are often mixed. Sometimes you can restore some of the updates from msinfo32>tools>version conflict manager. The catch is: how do you know that the restoration will bring back only uncorrupted files? You might bring back the problems that...

Hello again sml160: OK, so your pc has no ps/2 ports. Does it have any USB ports? Have you run sfc.exe to see if any Windows files have been damaged?
