Can you boot off the CD to the recovery console? If you can, can you view the files on the drive?

OK, here's the weird thing. If I clear the mobo's jumper and then only use the default settings the computer runs fine. (plays games, ect) It still has to be a problem will the battery or the BIOS, because all of the hardware runs fine if those aren't altered. I just really hate that I bought a good CPU that only runs at 1.2 Ghz.

Any other suggestions?

Is the FSB the only thing that is altered when you change from a good booting machine to a dead one?

Yes, the only thing besides the date and time.

EDIT: I've now tried it with only the FSB, without the date and time. I still have the same problem.
