TY
Anyway, I'm building a computer for the first time and my motherboard and processor consist of a AMD 64 3200+ and a DFI lanparty nforce3. I have a few questions...
1. Does the processor have to have thermal grease applied to it and the heatsink? I didn't realize that you had to open the place where you put the proc in and then lock it down. So I had to scrape all the thermal grease off.
2. When I try to boot up the computer, it'll make a beep noise after about 5 seconds, and the screen will show a consist pattern of blue-ish wavy symbols.
Can anyone offer help? TY for your time.
