After a week of fighting with this dang P3 system and hanging when it goes to boot into windows I finally got it fixed!! after 2 hdd 2 IDE cables updating bios which was not easy task I tell you what.... since the only sites I could find the file on where in something I couldn't read. I finally pulled the HSF off of it and whoever put the machine together when it was first built didn't bother to use thermal paste they just used to thermal tape that was on the HSF well that stuff was tuff like wax took me 15 minutes (really) to clean it off of the HSF and the core of the cpu I put some thermal greese on and fire it up and it works perfect now. anyway saved myself buying a new mobo to find out the thermal tape was hard and causeing the cpu to overheat.
