    Well, it was running Windows 98 and had been working for a few years. Then all of a sudden it just shut down. Either way it isn't a big deal.

    ACPI Controller

    It's on the mobo right? When I start up my brother's AMD Duron 800 mhz computer it stops the IRQ sequence when it reaches the ACPI Controller. If you need visual I can take a digital picture of what the screen says. But is there anyway to fix it, or does it mean the mobo is finished? (It...

    Reformatting HD

    The hard drive on the computer I am talking about has a Windows 98 operating system on it. The hard drive is so full of viruses that it will freeze right when it starts to load Windows. How should I go about reformatting it? Thanks.

    Installing multiple fans

    A motherboard that I am working with only has 2 fan slots(cpu fan and 1 case fan). What are the different types of ways to add more case fans than just the 1. Is there a card that goes into the pci that has extra fan slots? Thanks.

    Help Me Please

    If in doubt, reformat. I had the same situation. I used everything but nothing worked. So I reformatted and then started using Mozilla instead of Internet Explorer and everything is fine. Make sure you backup your files if you reformat.

    250W power supply question

    It will just blow up. I had a system I just made that wasn't as good as yours that had a 300w. It exploded and fried the mobo. I had a warranty on it so it was all good. But had to buy a new psu.
