Every time I start it to try to get on, it will start and everything until it appears to just about to sign on, it just reboots and then goes to square 1 & starts all over again dooing the same thing; rebooting. So how do I get in to at least go back to last restore or fix it, I can get into F3 and get to troubleshoot, but I don't know where to go from there. Please Help!!

Is it time to upgrade my video card, its 9800 pro? I can still play Company of Heroes on low settings fine,and other new games like Need For Speed Carbon,Half Life2. Oh yeah I have a question why does it start to lag pretty bad when I load a big map in Company of Heroes? Is it because I have only 512mb system ram or because 128mb video ram?

does upgradeing cpu also require changing heatsink and fan?
thats all i want to know since tomorrow I'm upgrading my CPU.
Or just keep the OEM heatsink and fan which are in perfect working condition?
P.S
I do have a spare heatsink along with fan. "HYPER48 cooler master" which i always can install on my pc... but my only concern is that the heatsink is for P4(same socket though). It does not specifically say on the box or in users manual that it supports core 2 duo or pentium D which I currently have on my PC.
Thank's

I am thinking of buying a $350 scanner (sheet-fed). What do you use the scanner for?
I have a small CPA business, so I can use the scanner to digitize client's records. And I can scan my bills. What else do you use your scanner for?
