Mmk, so I am in the process of building my new gaming PC and I'm nearing completion, all I need is GPU, I borrowed my bro's and put it in and booted, it says-before going into windows-"Overclocking Failure" I havn't tried to OC, and I'm a total n00b when it comes to OCing so I just cleared the Cmos, however this didn't help.
I'm just asking for input. On another note, it also says my MoBo battery is running low, could this have a hand in the error message?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

What is the make and model board and card? A weak and failing lithium battery usually a CR2032 will stall a system completely when it goes. If the voltage is set too high in the bios for that make and model card that would be one reason for the error message seen there. You should look and see if that is set to 1.5v and not higher. Take the battery with you when going to replace it to watch+calculator section in a store or even Radio Shack for the correct replacement. They usually only cost about $2-3 to replace.
 
The card is a ATI X1600 512mb and teh mobo is Asus A8S-X skt939.
on another note the batt is a CR2032 3v...I bought the mobo used, I don't know if the previous owner replaced the batt or not...
 
The previous owner probably sold the board due to the problems being seen now. You should ask that party if the battery was swapped for a new one. It doesn't sound like that was the case. Since you are seeing that errpr it won't hurt to try a new one. A weak battery can board act flaky at times. Once you have a new one in try loading the optimized defaults in the bios to see if this clears this up. Hopefully that's a PCI-E not AGP X1600 you are trying to use there. Compusa has a full page on that seen at http://www.compusa.com/products/pro...uct_code=337446&Pn=Radeon_X1600_Video_Card#ts
