There is more to gaming than a motherboard. The processor is just as important as the gpu, as if it is to slow, it will become a bottleneck for the gpu.

Poster is running a line just to spam the sig.

I deleted those posts because the poster is just a sig spammer and has no idea how to do what they have advised.

When you start the computer, press the F8 or F5 (different pc's use different keys)...

You need to contact Microsoft and purchase a genuine key code.

My suggestion is to try somewhere else as you will get no help here :).
Your intention might be above board, others' may not.

Keep it onsite as per the rules you agreed to when you signed up.

Only thing I can suggest is to reset the bios by removing the cmos battery on the motherboard for a couple of minutes before re-fitting it. See if it works.
Repair the OS with your installation CD.

Is it 1sass or lsass?
Download hijackthis on to a flash drive and run it on the pc.

What monitor are you using? If it's an LCD, try hooking up a CRT monitor to see if you can get in to see the settings.

As long as the sigs fall within the rules, they are allowed. By all means, report what you believe to be spam, but I suggest you allow the staff to moderate :).

There may be a false positive here or there, but to say that AV's 'attack' legit software is wrong.

I suggest you start your own thread as no-one is going to help you hijack a thread.

Just another sig spammer.

It has actually been postulated that (some) AV companies create viri in order to sell their product.

Is it XP or Vista?

Phenoms have the larger cache :)

I think a few mobo's can do it, but it depends on the bios version. Later ones tend to lock that option out.

Nice choice. You may be able to unlock the other two cores :).

Before you decide to format, you should always have the CD that came with your pc handy.
If you do not have the CD, you will need to know exactly which motherboard you have and go to that...

In Everest, go to the Display option at the left and it should open a drop down list. Click pn the GPU and it should tell you there what it is.

Get Everest Free and have it scan your pc. It will show what graphics it is.
Do you have card, or is it on-board?

The only way I think you can save your files is by removing the HD and connecting it to another pc and copy the files over.
