no. its most likely that you compaq's motherboard is an intel socket 478 pentium processor or an AMD socket A. either way i think its time to upgrade. save up some money and build yourself a good pc.

Your Compaq is based on the outdated Socket A format. Your fast X2 4200 is AM2 format. They are NOT compatible.
The problem you described could be software related. There could be a conflict with one of your startups. You could try disabling all your non-system startups to check this. Run msconfig to disable startups.
