Hi, I have old computer at work which is used to connect to database only and it is an old ASUS P4P800-MX motherboard with 2x256MB RAM. Problem it's that PC won't boot to XP - only shows logo screen. I tried using repair disc but I don't know the admin password, I then used Ophcrack which won't boot and it showed that CPU is overheating. Could be this the problem? I will check the temperatures and the CPU model tomorrow and will go to buy a new cooler, I doubt it'll help.
