We all know you meant help but hemp comes out funny. ;D --- End quote --- I DIDN'T See I made a TYPO!!! Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I owe an apology. I couldn't believe someone out there thought recommending hardware for emulation could be illegal.. Now I see it.. and I am laughing and going to correct it now. |

ALL The caps are popping and the computer is randomly locking. --- End quote --- Why not replace the capacitors? If you're planning on ditching the MB anyway, you might as well give that a shot. --- End quote --- I am going to try to save the board, but since I have to take the WHOLE PC APART - I might as well just pop something more up to date in there and if I get the old board working - eBay it. Might as well go with something better. This PC is OLD and I figured simple cheap upgrades, but then it got expensive and became a bit of a obsession to get it to work. The last thing I wanted was to replace the MOBO.. that means ANOTHER new XP install. SO I figured Core 2 duo or Quad? Again recommendations would be nice please since I am not a PC guru. |

You won't need to do a whole XP Install, boot yourself into safe mode, Uninstall any Motherboard/Chipset drivers from add/remove programs. Then goto device manager, Uninstall as many devices as you possibly can (Hopefully you have a ps2 keyboard, uninstall that last) Then you just power down the machine, pop in the new MB and boot back up again, let it find all the hardware and it will install as many drivers as it can. Then Install the drivers for motherboard chipset/network/sound (In that order). I've done this a few times and never had any real problems. |

I will try that, Still no recommendations on hardware? |
