Ok so I thought I was smart enough to build my own computer but the fact is i have faced soo many problems with it that I think now it was more stress free, time free to have paid more to have someone built it.
-
I had put everything in my computer correctly and it ran. I had a wonderful screen that allowed to me go through Bios set up and what not. Fresh new hard drive with nothing on it not even an OS, fresh out of the box.
-
I stuck in a dell xp reinstall disk hoping that i could install xp on my new computer. By my surpised it worked, although first time i ran through the setup at 2% in formating the drive it crashed and gave me blue screen of death. Restarted the computer and tried it again, while in the windows blue setup install screen on the button it took a long time to even get to any screen that would allow me to see the partions of the drive and ask if i wanted to install xp, i thought it was taking to long, waited 10 mins and thought i must have just froze. Turned off the computer and now i cant even get anywhere.
-
When I first turn on the computer all i get is a black screen
of some information i guess about my board and right off the bat in 2 seconds it goes to another black screen with the words of death to me

What do i do! Can anyone help? I just watched a tutoriol on BIO CMOS reset about changing the pins from "2""3" to "1"2" and that didnt work, took out the watch battery from my mother board and no good. Did all that with the power off. Took out ram and used one on each space, NOTHING.

I dont know what I can do. I put the motherboard CD in the cd drive also maybe hoping that it would read off of that and NOPE. Same problem everytime.
