    Re: PC Build - Help!

    the processor fan blows...but only for a short while.

    then I have to turn the p.s. off/on then hit the switch, only to get the same results.

      You may get errors like that if you don't have the motherboard mounts in the right places and instead of laying against the grounded sections where it should be screwed in you have the mount against the motherboard in a bad place. This would create a short curcuit and then everything would be all screwy like that.

      I would take everything out (yes I know this is a pain in the ass) and make sure the mounts you screwed into the case all are placed such that they are lined up with the holes in the motherboard surounded by silver.

      EDIT: oh and you will probably have extra mounts. do not put those in the case. only the ones that directly line up to the appropriate places on the MB.

        I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me out...the MS community rocks

        frustrating experience to say the least, but the small issues I had created big problems...

        spacers shorting the board, slicing the shit out of my thumb, etc.

        the last hurdle is installing the OS, which shouldn't be much of a prob..(lol)

        thanks again...

                true that...

                this was the first system I put together...

                definitely a learning experience...but I guess it could of been worse.

                  Only because I've done it myself.
                  Took me forever to figure out wtf was going on.
