Create a windows startup disk, boot from that and then format it.

Be sure to get the service pack 2 from microsoft. There some compatibility updates in there too I believe.

You want to open the case up otherwise it won't get cleaned very well. Also spray into the power supply with the canned air so that it blows the dust out of that too, make sure you do it so the dust goes out the fan vent on the back of your computer and not into the inside of the case. I heard...

I used rain before with no problems. It did lower the cpu temp a few degrees based on unscientific monitoring. My understanding is that it tells the cpu to idle when it is not being used, even between keystrokes. This supposedly reduces cpu cycles and therefore heat. I would say that the...
