ITS ALIVE!
After a revamp, where the old motherboard was supplanted, and a new hard disk and ram installed, my computer lives again. Although now its pretty damn noisy since there are 2 fans operating simultaneously. Rather short-sightedly, i threw away the old DELL casing with my WinXP ACTIVATION KEY on it, and now im stuck with a 30-day timer that irritatingly pops up every few minutes or so to remind me to activate my copy of XP. GAH! Anyone can help me out? Or do i have to get a new copy of XP.
