I'm laughing my ass off at this thread. Why would you just start trying to install as many BIOSs until one worked? Don't you think that's just a little wreckless??? What were you thinking???
How do you know the PSU doesn't have an electrical fault or if something else wrong with the outlet? Like I said, never ever work with the computer plugged in. It's better to assume you will be electrocuted than not.
You should return both the mobo and cpu and say that a manufacturing defect caused them to break after you disassembled them to return since they weren't working for some reason. Why should you pay for your inexperience when the company you purchased from could do so easily?
Here's a good tip:
Take all of your components (still in their boxes) to a local computer shop and pay them $50 to build this for you. That way, when they power it up and it doesn't work, they'll have to fix it. You'll save time and money not having to do RMAs because you are careless...
Just take it to one of those little computer shops where they overcharge you for service and tell them you don't know what's wrong, but you'll pay as much money as it takes to get rid of this problem. If they attempt to explain any warranties with you concerning service or parts, just waive your...
oh okay.
personally i think the mistake was sending the computer using a delivery method where the box is slammed into several trucks repeatedly and then kicked by the drivers. he should have paid for air next day if he was serious.

why the hell would you spend so much time on a computer? and it's a mid-level computer at that. and then you ship it fedex ground? you couldn't stand the thought of spending $20-30 more to ship by air next day after spending a huge ass amount of time on this?
This is a very interesting question that I have wondered about as well. There does not seem to be any limitations on the temperature that objects can attain. Temperature is usually explained using gas in a container. The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature. A scientist...
The computer market has gone bust. It's either the huge players or do it yourself. The smaller stores either cannot compete or will stiff you on the warranty or replacement.
Sorry, but your post is total BULLSH*T.
Many, many PC components do not work together for whatever reason. Even if you were to research and verify that a configuration of various components is good, what happens if the power supply blows up and destroys all your other components? *flushes...
1. burn in is not necessary. just use normally. use any programs you want.
2. not a whole lot. anyway, why overclock? it just destroys your CPU and you will not see any difference.
3. the mb manual should tell you what the chipset is.
4. the video card should not be adjusted
5...
Most people say onboard is fine.
THEY'RE WRONG AND STUPID.
Get a soundcard, as onboard does not have the kind of processing ability or features of a soundcard. A good soundcard can make ordinary sound, sound great.
You bet it is. His computer is 85% destroyed. Much better to buy a new computer with a warranty and part out his old one. Save time and also have money in his pocket. Why would anyone want to work with a broken, blown out computer??? Don't sit here and give me your smarmy european attitude...
Why would anyone want a computer without at least a CD-ROM built in? What happens after you get Windows installed after all this trouble and something hoses the install? What a NIGHTMARE.
I wouldn't think so. If you can rule out the OS and know its a hardware problem, then you'll be able to RMA the hardware and get a perfectly working computer rather than spending many futile hours ignoring the real problem.
The easiest way to figure this out would be to reinstall/reformat windows.
If you continue to have random reboots, you definitely have a hardware problem. Then it is going to be either the RAM or the motherboard that is the culprit.
Could be a bad installer, or your CD might have become corrupted. Try dumping the CD to an .iso using Alcohol 120% or whatever if you can, then installing.
Sounds like your computer died due to static electricity discharge. Was your friend taking the necessary precautions when they opened the computer up and started touching the components?
You little Apple fanny boy. How dare you come here and parade a 2-bit-no-good-low-down-all-flash-and-no-go-limited-software-and-expensive-as-he
l chump OS in the face of Windows. If Windows is so bad and Apple so good, there'd be far less people using it. You make me sick!!!
Here's what I would do in order to save time: reformat/reinstall. If your computer continues to freeze anymore, you have either defective RAM or a defective motherboard. This is the most generic solution because it's hard to know when your problem started to occur or under what circumstances...
