How to build a computer without Really Trying
I will start trying to build a computer. May CD-ROM not stopped working and I keep get an error message stating: "This disk is not available. I went to" File "My Computer" to check the status of disk drives with the properties, but not shown. I then went to Device Manager to check the status of the drives, but he did not receive there. Now I no computer or computer Whiz "maniac, but I have some knowledge, though limited, as the computer works. After spending literally hours trying to figure out what has happened in my CD, I finally decided to pass on enterprise and unknown line. I took the lid off the computer case. I do not know what I was looking to start so I also about to see, maybe if things had gone. This course Unplugged, cable will become the CD player. I plugged cable back, put the lid, plug in the power cable and press power button to fire it up. I was somewhat surprised to see that really works. This got me wondering how was difficult to build a computer from scratch. I went online looking to see where it was possible, what I can do. After reading various articles and visit websites very determined to try. step The first was to determine which computer I wanted. First of all, it should be faster. There is no point going through all the problems that the construction of failure. It should also be able to handle files of great video, photography and many more music (songs). And finally, I wanted a media center capable of playing and recording music, playing and recording DVDs, download and play the game and can play cable television . I would like to be able to connect the projector and my wall as a screen while surfing the web. One day I decided that I wanted, I started searching for parts or components and I need to. first has to do, or Tower . I learned that there is a line guide, such as standardization ATX form factor case. This is a standardized case calculated on Motherboards certain, and thus determine the location within the body. I found a great source for parts that will be on Take me to shop online they Newegg.Com. Although I do not know at that time, I learned quickly that in addition to a wide variety of products, low and very competitive prices, customer service was a "high flight ". So I highly recommend these people. first in my list was R114 Rosewill SLV-Serebryanka Mid-Tower computer case. This case came with a 400W ATX 20-pin main power connector. (see photo). next on the list was board . I need an Intel ATX motherboard (ATX sense, it perfectly fits my ATX Mid-Tower). For this I chose ASUS P5P800 Socket T (LGA775) Intel 865PE ATX Intel Motherboard. This is a very powerful and affordable, and supports the corporation Intel Pentium ® 4 processor. This processor supports Hyper-Threading, which, according to Intel website corporations "leads to more efficient use of processor resources, higher throughput processing, and improved performance Bush multithreaded programs. "This motherboard comes with a 775-pin Land Grid Array (LGA-775) is designed for socket Intel ® ® Pentium 4, and, most importantly for me, and User's Guide. next on the list was processor. chose Intel ® Pentium ® 4, 530J 3.0 GHz, 800 MHz FSB in 775 packages of land. This is a super fast processor comes from the radiator and fan, which uses the application to set the PIN code. In memory, I decided to Rosewill the 512 megabytes of DDR SDRAM 184-Pin DDR400 (PC3200), four times. for a hard drive I chose Western Digital, WDC1600 ®, 160 GHz, 7200 rpm Serial ATA hard drive. I chose 1, Mitsumi 3.5 Internal 44 MB Rosewill floppy and DVD Burner, model Rosewill RD-162 and CD burner, model RR-52 (both at retail). except for a disk, all my parts vendors, ie, the container original producers, etc.. Also on my list was 80 mm 2 sleeves, blue LED case fans and cooling ® Sound Blaster Live sound card, ATI All In Wonder 9600 ® 8X Graphics / TV Card, Dell ® 17 "Ultra Sharp Flat Panel Monitor , wireless mouse and keyboard, HP Photo Smart 7660 ® printer and Logitech ® Z 2300 speaker system. As you can see, I did my homework. Before taking on this task, I had no idea, the board was that functions as a processor hard drive was and what has not been that if there are any compatibility issues I encountered, and how all this "stuff" for to work together. So, for about three months, I bought all these components. We first mistake was that I ordered the ASUS P4P800S ASUS P5P800SE country. P4P800S is not compatible with LGA-775 Intel P4 CPU ®. So here was an opportunity to control the level of service to Newegg.com. I have them e-mail to explain my situation, and without hesitation, they exchanged the motherboard and not charge a fee or completion of cargo. They acted as if they made a mistake. Needless to say, I was very impressed. When all the parts and components are here, I put all identify everything, and read the User Guide that came with your motherboard from mirror to mirror. There was a "Nuts and Bolts of time ', it's time to put this thing together. Motherboard comes with screws and washers that he felt were used to attach the motherboard to the chassis case. I felt put on the washers and put holes in chassis motherboard on top of felt washers. why they felt washers between the chassis and motherboard. secured card chassis with ten screws. else was installing the CPU. I learned very quickly as part of the equipment that was significant. There are 775 small pin or socket that can easily get bent, and so do processor is useless. This I find most frightening. However, I read a prayer, took me by the time processor has lined-right, and proceeded with caution. gorgeous couple! appropriate perfect! sweating closed. Then I installed the processor heatsink and fan with Push-Pen (press and rotate clockwise). Then connect the CPU fan cable to the motherboard connector marked CPU_FAN.'ve installed Serial ATA hard drive after a internal bays. Then I installed the floppy drive. Another was to install the memory system. This is very important that you first "land" itself, referring to the metal chassis before handling Built-in dual-channel memory module ( DIMM). This motherboard comes with four DIMM bases which allows to use different configuration based on the amount of memory to install. I chose the four DIMM 512 MB, which is kept simple. I just opened a DIMM socket by pressing latches on the outside. Then I joined the DIMM sockets in order that DIMM sockets at the line break. pressing down the right, I firmly inserted to maintain DIMM clicking clip instead. Then I installed a DVD optical drive in Bay first, and CD-ROM optical drive, second bay. This particular case has a flip door to hide the optical drives. Then I installed the network card in one of the five PCI slots and fixed the chassis with screws. other , I installed the ATI All In Wonder9600 ® Graphics card in Port Accelerated Graphics (AGP) slot. This motherboard only supports 1.5V or 0.8V AGP card, which is the key that fits in the AGP card slot. Furthermore, it is time to decide "kërcyesit. kërcyesit are determined to determine how some computers will not work. For example, there are three power jumper which allows PINklaviatura enable or disable the keyboard wake up function. Cap has a shirt that covers two pin to determine the three functions kërcyesit. next came the fun part, internal communication. FDD connector on the floppy drive with cable FDD signal. Then I connected power cables to FDD. another, the Serial ATA hard drive on my one of two connectors with SATA cable Serial ATA signal, and then plugged the power cable to the hard drive. I then connects the CPU Fan connector, serial port (COM) port module cable connector serial port, two USB 2.0 ports, and form game. Then I connected the power cables to two optical drives. another, plugged in the ATX power connector (24-pin EATXPWR, 4-pin ATX12V), an internal audio connection (4-pin CD, AUX), front panel connector audio (10-1 Pin FP-Audio), and last but not least, in the system tray connector (20 / 1 of the Contact Group). again "Volume in the task bar color so it was quite simple connection. I then replaced the lid of the system unit, monitor connected, wireless receiver for keyboard and mouse, speakers, and power cord. I then plugged in a cable outlet. Now comes the moment of truth, power button I clicked. Nothing happened! NO lights on the panel, the board does not light LED, fan not working! "Nothing!" Needless to say I was devastated. All that work for nothing. I thought that I could not do it, or was it a kind of compatibility problems. I went back to the beginning and regained all his connections, and they were all accurate. About an hour and repeating them tracking my steps hit me. There was no power coming into the system, I then check the bulb socket plug, and it worked well. After the transition time and again, I realized that maybe, just maybe, he felt washers were hampered somewhat related. It was worth a try so I deleted everything, and I mean everything! Then took motherboard, a remote felt washers, replace the motherboard, so it was in direct contact with the chassis case, be felt washers on the top of the motherboard, and then tightened the chassis motherboard with ten screws. I realized that not only instruction in User Guide is the exact placement of felt washers, I then reinstalled everything. When the power cord to connect a LED exit lights came on board, I asked the power button and it came to the right. It works! "Oh, how happy I was. Then I went into BIOS (Basic Input / Output System), and the following steps to determine various parameters for managing the computer. With user manual, these were very easy to install. Once I completed the deployment of various parameters of running Microsoft Windows ® XP with Service Pack II. Looking at ASUS logo then Windows XP logo is one of the nicest parts of this whole ordeal. I was shocked! my computer has worked equal first time I used it and worked flawlessly every since. I can watch TV programs, internet search in the super-fast (with a cable modem), songs to download and create a playlist, create photo albums and CD, listen to AOL radio, watch videos, watch DVD movies, play games, Call Of Duty, Big Red One ®, and print great photos. This computer is Awesome! In general it was a very intense experience. After I had made there going back, because more money is spent. By the way, I already had a desktop computer manufacturers more respected. I paid about $ 1100 for the entire system, and it does not where near the build computer skills only. It is simply no comparison. I spent a whole lot less of my building, actually save hundreds of dollars. I priced computers with huge brand power and skills, that have built large and only $ 2,200 came about. line line goes only to show, everything is possible if you follow, and most importantly, if you have a Master in your hand ...
