Thread: odd stuff

I tried to upload from my phone can't its all the little wire pwrsw hddled reset ect I can't find the right order

ick. Those always suck but they SHOULD be labeled on the mobo. If you know the make/model of your mobo you should be able to download the manual in pdf format and figure out where they go.

Despite a video and my best efforts my pc won't power up so something must of went wrong

I don't know what you unplugged. You mentioned cpu fan being loose but didn't say you unplugged all the other things too. So if you unplugged power connectors, make sure you plugged in the 24 pin connector and the 12 pin... and again, make sure you have those front side connectors on the right pins. Not all mobos have them laid out the same. You need to get a manual for your motherboard and make sure which pins are which.

If you removed the cpu fan/heat sink, did you re-do the thermal paste? If not you need to stop what you ware doing and do that. Watch some videos. It's easy to hose ALL the things doing that wrong...

I did it just like the video for all I know pulling out the motherboard I fucking fried with the way my luck goes I just can't looking do anything right between my hands being no good and my fucking eyes being a good only fucking choice I have is take it to a shop and then they charge me probably a couple hundred maybe I should give up on having a fucking computer all together

it's an acquired skill. An easy one to learn, but challenging at times.

But again, without knowing exactly what was done it's hard to guess. You just said you pulled the motherboard out. It keeps getting more involved. It started with a loose cpu fan and has progressed to open heart surgery.

With all the trouble you are having I would seriously consider buying a prebuilt instead of building your own or spending money to get this one diagnosed. There's no shame in buying a prebuilt. You could get a reasonable gaming rig in your price range. Or find a buddy that knows his shit and get him/her to build your machine for you while you sit and watch, and ask questions.

Are there any TPGers in your neck of the woods capable of helping? Where you located?
