    Optical mice stink.

    that HAS TO BE the problem. seriously, there's a reason why nobody sells those old ball mice anymore. get yourself a quality optical mouse and you'll see why everyone else has all but forgot about those archaic ball mice. not only are they much more accurate, but they STAY much more...

    upgrade

    that's exactly what i thought!! you should just be able to swap w/out problems. i've reset CMOS many times and yes, the BIOS is the most up-to-date version available and, of course, the CPU is listed as supported on dfi's website. like i said, i'm baffled. i've never had any kind of problem...

    thanks animal for the response. actually, i do have an AC. a small hand-me-down one that kinda works. i had thought about shelling out the cash for a bigger one but i'd kinda rather spend it on a water cooling system. besides the lower temps, i would like something quieter and uh ... i just...
