I have a custom built computer, in it, it has a AMD FX-60 dual core CPU. I also have 2 GB of corsair RAM, 2 Nvidia 7900 GTO graphics cards, a 600 watt power supply, and a Asus SLI-Premium motherboard. And etc. My system temp usually never exceeds 50c. Average is around 48c.

So the problem here is, recently i was trying to overclock my CPU, and i failed miserably, forcing me to clear the RTC/BIOS.
Ever since then, whenever i play games such as Oblivion, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, etc, my computer always shuts down. These games worked before i tried overclocking.

Advice on how to fix? Thanks in advance.

I have windows XP x64 edition, and when it goes off the screensaver, instead of putting the monitor on standby it goes right back to the desktop. The only way I can make it work properly is to make the time on the desktop and screensaver equal. I would rather hav the desktop on a shorter period of time, say 5 minutes to 30 minutes for the screensaver. Can anybody help me ?

I reassembled my computer to the best of my abilities, everything looks in order but when i go to start it, I can hear what seems to be the Power Source fan, and i can see my other fans running too; however, this only lasts for roughly half a second. My monitor also recieves a signal as well, but it stops almost immediatly and returns to the monitor to the "No Signal" screen. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can I install a PC game onto a hard-drive other than the one where my OS is? Due to a financial mess I had to buy a 36Gb Raptor as opposed to the 74Gb I initially wanted & am now pretty much out of space to install new games, can I install new games to another hard drive OTHER than the one where my OS is,.. if so, what problems, (if any), can I expect to have to deal with?
I can probably get another WD Raptor, but I'll get a 74Gb drive then will install the newer games on it, BUT I don't really want to reinstall XP onto that new drive just to run the games I wish to run; any other tips or suggestions also welcome in addition to the question-needing-answers as mentioned above - thanks! :)
So far I have BF2 & BF2142,. but I ALSO want: Crysis, UT3, MoH:Airborne & probably CoD 4,.. can I run them aye-ok on a seperate HDD from the one my OS is on?

Thanks Yahoo-ers. :)

All the other requirements meet the reccommended apart from the processor speed. It is only one processor, not dual core. Please state whether it would run on high, medium or low.

I have two copies of Windows XP installed both on the same partition. Before I installed the second one (for repair purposes) I noticed my total avalible memory was like 950mb or something. Since installing the second OS I noticed it dropped to around 550mb. Is a certain amount of memory being devoted to each OS which in turn is decreasing performance?

I just got a hp Pavilion dv2000 about 3 weeks ago and now its messing up. When I load up Vista Home Premium and get to the login screen it might freeze. The mouse won't work. Nothing works. If I get to the desktop it might freeze. If I boot in safe mode and try a system restore it might freeze. Everything I do eventually my laptop will freeze. How can I fix it? I think its windows cuz I don't think I have a virus.

I can no longer hear anything on the net/media player etc as the connection in the back of my computer has been broken. Basically the hole into which I plug the lead which is connected to my amp is knackered. If i wiggle the lead around whilst pushing it in hard (ok enough sniggering), I intermittently hear sound but I cannot afix it nor can I stand there keping it pushed in firmly. The moment I let it go all I get is a loud buzz! Any suggestions? is there an alternative way of hooking up my PC to my amp. Please help!

Ok. My computer has been messing up as of lately. Windows will not actually load. When I turn the computer on, it makes it all the way to the Windows loading screen with the progress bar at the bottom. From there, it just keeps rebooting and cycling like that. I tried to start in safe mode and that didnt work either. I booted from the Windows XP CD, and when I choose the repair option, it works for a little while, and then it kicks me to a dos prompt ( C:\Windows ). I can only access the windows directories and sub-directories. What am I supposed to do from here? When I type exit, Windows never actually loads, it just keeps cycling. Someone please help!

Im running a P4, 3.53GHz, 2GB RAM, Windows XP
