i would like to say that the problem is resolved. i thank all of you. the problem was so stupid. the PSU came with the cords that you plug into the case fans right.. so it's one cord that goes around the case and has 3 slots for 3 fans and it has this weird 4th slot that i plugged into...

how about the motherboard being screwed onto the case? i screwed it on well but like 2 screws didn't really get screwed in. They were loose.. might that have been a problem? i just bought the PSU, i don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's an Antec 550 Basiq tomorrow i'm going to do a...

wow.. i got my OS cd ready and all and now the computer doesn't turn on at all again like before. Yesterday i build the computer and it didn't turn on. I tried a lot of things and then i took out the battery and put it back in and it worked. Today i was going to install an OS when it didn't work...

wow.. i got my OS cd ready and all and now the computer doesn't turn on at all again like last time. I tried last time's solution again by taking out the bios battery waiting for 1 min and putting it back in but that doesn't work either this time. The difference is that, now, the lights and...

how about when i disable the onboard on the bios and plug the VGA on the GFX, what if it doesn't work? then how i will i enable the onboard again when i have no screen?

so what do i have to do to see if it caused damage? because i checked the gfx and mobo, nothing seems wrong. the comp still works and i will install an OS tomorrow since i'm very busy today.

ooo i see, i forgot to disable via BIOS... also, in my first attempts, the computer didn't turn on for a while. so i replugged everything and took out the battery and put it back in. but this time, i forgot to plug in the pci-e power to the graphics card and when i turned the computer on...

I just built a new PC and i turned it on today. When i plug in my monitor into my graphics card, nothing happens and there's no screen on the monitor. However when i plug it into the motherboard VGA, the monitor works and there's a screen and it goes to bios. Why do you think so? Is it because i...

ok thanks. i still couldn't decide about the OS thing though. Maybe i should build it and try XP on it? and then if i don't like i'll buy vista? how does that sound? but if you install an OS and then another one right after it, will that change anything in the performance or anything...

ok well i'm ready to purchase everything from newegg. Do you think i should do the newegg "Service Net Replacement Extended Warranty Plan" for any of the items? Newegg.com - Sony Optiarc Black 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner...

ok should i consider some luxury such as liquid cooling and all?

you have to recommend not using it, other people read this :P . lol i'm kidding... so i think i'm going to go with your build + Vista instead of XP.

i see. my friend downloaded vista and burnt it as an ISO and booted that way. i heard that that way, you won't get authentication.. is that true? you can't escape not buying it? but it does come with a free windows 7 upgrade

what do you mean when you say dd3 is future proof? btw how long do you think this desktop will be in good use until technology changes and i have to buy a new one?

well i want the case because it looks nice :) . so i'll keep the case. why does this new ram work better? in what way? (aside from building a PC because it's better, i want to learn at the same time :) ) And for the OS, i have Windows XP that i've used many times to reinstall... that won't...
