Hi there, I'm in big trouble. My parents' old crappy PC doesn't work anymore. The electricity stopped (don't know the expression in English for that, I hope you know what I mean) and now when we try to turn it on, 9 times on 10 nothing happens. The screen turns on, then off, and the green DEL on the computer is still ON.
1 time on 10, it starts up as normal, but right before the Windows XP loading part, the DOS says:
Originally posted by ARRRGH!The system was not correctly shut down
now working in safe mode speed, please press "DEL" to BIOS setup table to set correct CPU speed
Sh*t.
I searched on the Internet, and I found some stuff. I got to the BIOS and chose "Reload Default Settings" or something similar, and then "Save and Exit". Nothing happened.
Then I used another solution, removing the "battery" in the master drive (might not be its correct English name, again sorry guys). Here are my steps:
1- Unplug the CPU;
2- Touch the metal border to remove any remain of static electricity;
3- Remove it;
4- Wait 20 minutes (I waited 30 minutes to be sure);
5- Place it back and replug the CPU.
Afterwards, the above quoted message was replaced by:
Originally posted by ARRRGH! againWARNING!! CPU was changed
and nothing else works now. I tried going into the BIOS again to set stuff to default, and now while it doesn't work, it shows the first quote's message.
I'm out of solutions now. I'm stuck. DESESPERATELY stuck. So... help?

What on earth does ""battery" in the master drive" mean?
Why the hell would you remove the CPU? Did you refit the fan properly with new thermal grease? If not, it's probably not wise to even use the computer until that is fixed, as the CPU could be damaged.
If the computer experiences trouble during POST, it will usually emit a sequence of beeps through the PC speaker. Try to write down this sequence and look it up on the Internet. It might help you find out where the problem is.
Also, if you have problems with your BIOS resetting, try changing the battery on the motherboard.
You can also diagnose the computer by unplugging all non-vital components (hard drives, CD drives, ethernet adaptors, other PCI cards) and see if it boots up more reliably. Also, try taking out the memory modules and refitting them one at a time, checking if the system still boots. Also, if the system doesn't boot even with a single memory module fitted, try another slot. Once you get the computer to boot more reliably, try replugging the rest of the hardware one device at a time. Every time you must turn on the computer to check if it boots properly. If you run into trouble, there's a good chance the latest plugged-in hardware is the culprit.

That's what I meant by ""battery" in the master drive". My main language is French and I have some difficulties with computer terms. Anyway, maybe changing it could be the solution...

I can't even turn it on, so there's no chance I could use it. 
When I say "unplug the CPU I mean to unplug that thing in the wall that provides energy to the big box (that I call "CPU").

It doesn't do any sounds, except a "bzzzzzz" comming directly from the computer, not the speakers, and it was doing that 24h/24 even when it was working, so yeah.
So, as I said, I'll try to change the battery on the motherboard, and more importantly, I'll remember it's called a "motherboard". It might take a week or so before I can go get a new battery, though.

If you say there was a buzz coming from the wall or cpu "meaning power supply unit box with cord"
It maybe on its way to being dead, if you feel safe enough unplug it and look inside the case, does anything smell funny or do you see any signs of burned marks on your mobo anywhere ?
If you see no signs of damage, you need to tell your dad, to take his machine to a computer repair shop and get a better psu.
Also for your other problems with BSOD errors, its king hard to guess where your problems are coming from.
If you get your pc to boot again load up event viewer in control panel and look at at the administrator panel.
Check on system events or errors and tell me what you see in red on a consistant basis.
