The mainboard is probably grounding out against the case somewhere. And that somewhere is probably near where it screws in. Be careful that nothing but the ground points are touching it.
Remove the board from the case and try to boot it sitting on the table.

Sometimes, but don't rely on that. Especially not nowadays. It depends on the situation, but that would require increasing the FSB (if you motherboard can go beyond its rated) which would stress out other parts and cause problems. Check to make sure that there isn't a BIOS update for higher-rated CP...

If there was decent support for wireless on Linux, this would all be a moot point. But since that is not true, I would be more willing to give a Mac a go over a Windows laptop. You have to give Apple something, and that is that they don't fuck up in the hardware department. Get a Centrino-based lap...

It can be a good idea to, if you are really that worried. What I did is physically disconnect the Windows drive the first time I installed. This can cause problems, though, trying to use GRUB to boot both OSes, as you have to hand edit GRUB to boot the other HD afterwards since Ubuntu's install won'...

q
It should default to enabled. But, if it isn't enabled, turn it on for a speed boost.
I'm thinking that HQ?x uses MMX regardless.
You support MMX; All CPUs since the Pentium, including AMD's K6 and above have it. SSE/SSE2 is a slightly less common on older AMD CPUs.

Well, you are either trolling or are stupid. Onboard technologies lag about 4-5 years behind modern equipment. Even the best, the ATI 200 and 945GM chipsets, are easily bested by Gefore FX 5200s and Radeon 9200s. If you have any video card, even a radeon 8500, you can use that to greater results. Gr...

Last year's Superbowl sucked. A lot of the calls were shitty and costed the Seahawks. However, this year's Superbowl was alright. I was rooting for the Steelers, but I don't recall seeing a decent effort put up by them, with penalties and all. I'm not saying the penalties didn't influence the game....

Hey hey. Last year 0wnd. I'm happy for Tony. I'm not really a Payton Manning fan, though. He's overrated (though that's more on the Media for making him out to be the best player in the history of man than his fault) especially since he folds like an accordian when he faces the Steelers and other he...

Why the iPhone is Cingular-only is way beyond me. I highly doubt people who don't have Cingular will switch carriers just to get an iPhone. I know that some will, but many won't, and Cingular has pathetic reception. Very few people around here will get it, becuase it simply won't work. Apple just se...

Then buy an ATX. Unless your system is really strange (like a Dell or a server or something) that's all you need to know. To be sure, look at how many different cables plug into the motherboard. There should be a big rectangular one, and (maybe) a smaller 4-pin square one with two yellow and two bla...

It's not hard to do the math. If the PSU is 500Watt and is using 500w (which would require a Pentium D or multi-CPU sytem and at least 5 HDs to sustain that kind of draw), the additional 10% power consumption would lead to another 50w of heat. Contrast that to the 50-60W a Core 2 CPU uses. Quite a b...
