A few weeks ago someone set a bios password on my comp and i took the battery out on the motherboard. This created all sorts of problems. WoW or any other type of 3D game thats being ran on the comp gets bsod after 10 mins of being ran. Also every now and then my keyboard (ps/2) wont function after i get into windows. A restart will fix this problem intill the next time i start up.

I resinstalled windows hoping that it would fix it but no luck.I have updated windows up intill service pack 2. I got the video driver catylast from the ati site but wont run so i got the omega driver which runs. I know the temps for the comp are fine..they rise up to mid 50's after awhile being used but i assume thats normal for room temp. The temp outside rising over 100 doesnt help to much either. Right now i dont know what else i should do that would help me in fixing the problems.

Specs:
1gig of mushkin ram
2500+ amd athlon xp
asus a7v600-x
9800pro but comes up as a 9800xt

Any suggestions would be great.
 
have you updated your mobo's bios? Also, are there any popped or bulging capacitors on your motherboard?? This usually would cause your system to reboot or freeze (rather than get bsod), but I'm curious.. I'd also check your video card settings in bios to make sure they're correct.
 
How would i check to see if the video card settings are correct? The driver allows me to change the settings but i hit default on them.
 
He means to check your vid card setting in the BIOS itself. Like your Apeture, shadowing etc etc
 
you reset to default the moment you pulled the battery . Boot to your cmos menu and tweak your ram timings and voltage settings

I wouldn't tell him to tweak his voltages if he doesn't know much about bios and hardware settings. and I highly doubt that ram timings are causing his games to bsod...
