I have a good friend of mine that bought some hardware and have some trouble, i told him I would put his email to me here and see if you guys could lend a hand , so here goes:
ya I'll give you a quick rundown of what I have and what problems the
damn things givin me. I bought a motherboard, cpu, some ram, and 2 video
cards and a power supply. The motherboard is an ECS PA1 MVP (2.0)
(www.ecsusa.com) the cpu is a Pentium D 820 and,OCZ DDR2-667 PC5400 ram,
and 2 sapphire 128mb x1600pro's the pci-express versions and a 550 watt
ps. I put it all together, I know how to put everything together real
easy, but its wont really boot up. I can get into the bios sometimes if
it decides to let me, I'd change the settings so that both pci-express
slots are supposed to be on and ready for crossfire mode. I set up alot
of the settings in bios and saved and when it should have been booting
up it stopped and gave me an error that said NTLDR failed. So I tried
to format and put another version of windows on my first hard drive, but
it wouldnt even boot the cd. then because I couldnt really do anything
I had to shut down, when I restarted it wouldnt even show the screen
even with both pci-e slots supposed to be on. so I cleared the bios with
the jumper thats on the motherboard, and after a few times of
restarting it finally let me see it boot up again. then it said I only had just
the cd rom plugged in, and I have a cdrom,dvdrom, and 2 hard
drives....I dont know this things really started to piss me off lol, I had the
hard drives working on my old computer setup but now it doesnt even see
them... im baffled and really annoyed cause I want to play half life 2
on max settings and this new game fear that newegg.com sent me with part
of one of my orders. I'm thinking maybe..maybe my hard drives are
dead... but I hope not cause I have a 40 gig which I could care less about
formatting but my 160gig has alot of stuff on it that I need, programs
and ****** that are hard to find...but ya check out the websites for my
stuff and see if im just retarted and missed something, ill list them
below... I dont know tell me what you think.
