Hi,
I have a one year old packard bell pc which wasn't powerful enough to play bioshock, so I purchased a new graphics card. However, the graphics card wouldn't work unless I invested in a new psu unit, so I bought one of those too. The PSU unit is too big to fit into my packard bell case so one trip to PC World later and I have a bigger case. (While I was there I spent heavy on a hard drive, sound card and speakers too).
So then I set about transferring the hardware from old case to new case. I've never done anything like this before in my life but was pretty confident that everything was screwed in correctly and would work.
So I switch on and nothing happens apart from the green led broadband LAN thing flashing. Looked at a website for help and found this "under no circumstances must the motherboard touch the metal casing otherwise a short circuit thing would occur."
s**t
Look at the Packard Bell case to find these things that keep the motherboard from touching the metal and I'm pretty certain this PC world budget case doesn't have them.
Am I screwed?
If it's just the motherboard I've knackered up I could honestly live with that. But if it's the whole god **** system. F***K **** IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Is it possible I've just not plugged something in correctly? hard drive maybe?
Cheers all.
