Recently my computer is acting all sorts of weird. It started with my computer not saving my clock settings, then progressed to Windows Explorer not booting up when the computer did, then Windows XP would get stuck in a loading loop...and now my computer wont stay in sleep mode.

Is it time for a windows Reinstall, or just a new CMOS battery?

The colours reproduced are not what they should be and sometimes there is an erasure through one line

Alright, my POS Dell Inspiron is 100% virus infested.
I have about 30GB of data I need to back up so I can wipe out the system and reinstall XP.
The problem is, as I'm trying to backup data to my new Maxtor 300GB External, the computer just up and shuts off without provocation after about 6 or 7 minutes.
Not hibernate, not stand by, it SHUTS DOWN.

I dont have time to baby sit the damn thing and spoon feed files to the external, and I cant write to a CD-RW since the damn thing doesnt recognize CDs anymore.

Anyone know why it's doing this or what virus is causing it to do this so I can try to delete it?
I tried to install Norton to scan the system, but like I said, the ******* Dell doesnt know how to read CDs.

Configuration: IBM P-III 1GHz, 256 MB RAM, 80GB HDD, Builtin VGA & sound.
Problem occurred when I added new higher capacity HDD. I'm unable to complete any O/S installation. Changed RAM from other working PC, tried with New VGA card, replugged data cables, RAM, HDD, Bios etc.
Tried with Safe Mode in Win98 SE and installed correct driver from manufacturer. But when restarted, same restarting problem.
Suspecting mother board problem..any idea how to check..?
Thanks in advance.
