You may not have changesd a setting in the BIOS.. but has something else changed setting?
What is the state of the CMOS BAttery (> 3V)?
What is the state of the CPU temperatures..?
Could there be a problem with the Video Card (had these suckers change Bios settings)..
being winXP..I suspect probable Script on a website MAY have done some thing.. you didnt say what sort of sites you were visiting?

get a temp monitoring prog in there and watch what is happening.. temps should peak in the first hour.. so if it runs 2 hours or 3 days it is only the Ambient temp and CPU work load that will vary the temp.. running Seti/Predictor (BOINC) 24/7 is great way of working with cooling solutions.. and stress testing systems (Prime95 is a great mem/cpu stress test)
I am a hardware newbie, well. I don't guess there some virus attack from the site.. lol i was surfing AO while it happen. Well, how do i check the CMOS battery > 3. I have ABS feature in the BIOS to shutdown the pc when the temp cross certain limits

What do you mean by using "running Seti/Predictor (BOINC) 24/7 is great way of working with cooling solutions"
