I had a computer that I *ehem* built a few years back. I actually just picked out the parts and had the Asian fellow at the store build it for me because I was afraid to mess it up.
Now I wanted to use it again after its been sitting in a corner for 3 years. It wouldn't start up properly as there is no OS, but I'm not sure if the hhd was reformatted properly or what's going on. I can't get windows to boot from the disc and now I've gone and pulled some wires on the mobo and everything's all a mess, BIOS won't even start, I'm getting no VGA output whatsoever. I had fiddled with the front panel wires ,I put everything back in place ,it turns on just no VGA output. I removed video card and audio card, no USB gafgets are plugged in just a keyboard.
I would have just thought the mobo was fried but a couple hours ago I got it to startup screen/BIOS and was able to view the specs and configs but still couldn't get windows to boot
I understand I'll need to provide you guys with more info for any real help so I'll post pics soon.
The last time I got VGA output I was stuck in BIOS and it was saying something about nvram, I tried a few things taking the ram out and powering back on, I've restarted my cmos settings at least 3 times...
...where is the little 1 pin wire labeled grnd supposed to be ? There's two of these wires one with the USB bundle and the other with the front panel bundle
