Title: Go figure....
Post by: Ruler2 on August 29, 2009, 05:04:33 PM: Well,I got my Quad core CPU and mobo today,I hooked it all up,and was booting it up getting ready to see just what it could do,but I log in and Windows needed to be re-activated. So,I spent about 20 minutes telling numbers to some automated piece of crap on the phone that apparently dosen't understand english and got it working again. Only problem is,my background is gone and some programs won't work right like AIM. Anyone have any ideas as to why this happened?

Something's hinky here.

Next time you shut your computer down overnight and restart it, go into the CMOS/BIOS settings and check the date again. If it reverts, you'll really want to replace the little battery on the lower half of the motherboard. If it's dead, your CMOS/BIOS settings will revert every time you shut down the computer. They're usually very good quality rechargeable batteries, though, so it's probably not the case. Just sayin'.
