On/Off switch might be sticking
PSU might be on the way out
CPU fan might be spinning too slowly (it IS spinning?)
Hard drive might be dying (run diagnostic if possible or check in another system)
Look at capacitors...any of them leaking, crusty, or puffy?

Got the 2 CPUs today. The 1.0 Ghz works great in my little Compaq system. The 1.13 doesn't seem to want to work but I think it is because the mobo won't support it. I'm going to do some further checking on compatibility but the board is so old that info is scarce.
Thanks for the smooth...
So deadman, what they are telling you is ANY kind of router, with ANY kind of password, and ANY kind of protection (be it WEP, WPA or ABC)

I've got two X2 3800+ chips on two different boards (Asrock SataII & Epox m-ATX) and both do 2.6 easily. To be honest, I don't run them over 2.2 because I'm interested in stability, low heat, and low noise. Running at 2.6 seemed a little snappier but, for what I do, I saw no great benefit. The...
