Hi everyone. I just built this new computer
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
drive: LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache IDE 20X DVD±R DVD Burner - OEM
hdd: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320820A 320GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive - OEM
8800gt 512mb
2g ballistix
q6600
hx520
There seems to be 2 different problem things that happen.
1. Happening anywhere from the moment I turn my computer on up until hours after I have been using it, the monitor, keyboard, and possibly other things lose signal. As soon as this happens the cd drive starts to make a clicking noise and flashes its light.
2. Happening anywhere from the login screen on vista up until a few minutes later a loud continuous beep starts to sound and doesn't go away til i shutdown.
Both of these problems keep happening, somewhat randomly, but never give me enough time to even use my computer for more than 10 minutes usually if I'm lucky.
I did connect the hdd and optical drive on one IDE cable and had to set them the opposite of the actual cabling to make them reach and because my mobo only has one IDE slot.(made the actually cabling and jumpers different). I was told this would still work if need be but that it might cause problems. So because of the optical drive making noise it leads me to believe my IDE setup thing is the problem, atleast for problem #1
If anyone has or any help or suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
