Yeah... I posted about 5 minutes ago, now I figured out a more specific source to the problem. When the CD-Drive is open, my computer runs fine. But immeadiately when it closes, the computer crashed and goes into an auto-reboot cycle until it's opened again. Any advice?

I have just recently got a S/H HP vectra but the previous owner has forgotten the power on password! Do I need to remove the CMOS battery to reset the password before it will load windows? Or is there another way I can go around it. All replies gratefully appreciated.
