ok well vy what i found on this site : http://www.pcmech.com/byopc/step/23/ it seems my hdd isnt responding, though i do hear it spinning. i just don't see a light flashing. perhaps i connected the led cable wrong. but im just like lost as to what to do. I tryed all i can think. i dont wanna...

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-129-236&depa=0 It's a case fan, think its a good one? actually i wanna get 3 of em, for all my case fan spots, i dont have any.

ok since i was last here i have done the following things and come to 2 possible conclusions: What i've tried: 1. Reseated the video card like six times 2. tried the ram in different slots, then a different stick (the one in this comp) in all 3 slots. 3. Tried 2 monitors 4. Taken the fan...

I have SD RAM, but would that explain why the monitor just seems to be not responding at all to the computer. it looks like nothing is connected. Occasionally it will and then then the power light just blinks. i have a stick of 512mb pc 2700 ddr sdram.

k fan got off but now im thinking its the freking monitor. Or perhaps the graphics card. I looked at the connector from the monitor the the card and it was missing a pin. Thought that could screw things up. noticed it after all this. i dont know if this means anything but the comp does make...

the godamn fan refuses to budge. I tried for a good 10 minutes. My freakin fingers are hurting. There must be a way fans are take off.

ok ive checked a bunch of stuff, reseted the video card, moved the ram around, checked all the connections. One thing i can think of is that my processor may not be seated correctly or the fan is in way too tightly and crooked causing the processor to be seted sttrangely. I was trying to get the...

so even though its a different core than the 2 my motherboard supports, it should still work? thanks a lot for all the reply's :)

ATI Radeon 9600SE something like that i will double check. Graphic card from the store i bought: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=308212&pfp=BROWSE

the processor i got was 533 mhz fsb though, mainly i bought it because it was the best processor i could buy. 2.8 ghz 533 fsb, met the req's. I just didnt know it needed to be a specific core, should have occured to me though befor a f'n wasted 160 dollars. o ya and my previous post has some of...

sorry its a prescott core and my mobo says it can suport ata 33/100 ok but my motherboard specifics are: 2x EIDE controllers with support for up to 4 Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133. It then says on the ide device installation to connect one side of the ata 66/100flat cable to the ide device. ATA or...

ok, i got my fan connected and connected the audio cable which i asked about on a previous thread, but now i have a new problem. I start up the computer, plugged into the outlet and into the graphics card, and it starts up. All the fans work, the CD drive opens and closes, but nothing else...

when i connected the IDE cable to the Mobo, it did fit, bit i just was unsure of compatibility. that converter someone mentioned would work? or at least most likely. for the audio cable i have looked quite often. ill check again. and i will also try and cxonnect the fan. btw, my mobo and case...

I am building a computer, the first time i have built one, and it would be cool if someone here could answer some of my questions. I don't wanna have my like 500$ go to waste. Here are my questions: 1. I got a fan with my pentium 4 processor, and it either does not fit or i'm an idiot and cant...
