    What was your first computer?

    Cyrix MII 233MHz 32MB RAM S3 video 2MB 1GB HDD 15" CRT I remember the games I loved playing were The 11th Hour, Deer Hunter Avenger, Doom, and Quake 3. I remember when I upgraded to a Voodoo 3 3000 I would never have to worry about touching it again.

    what do you thing of new pc being built

    Sounds like a solid build, what are you wanting to do with it? One question, is there a reason why you're going for a SB sound card instead of the onboard audio?

    Something is very wrong

    I think I may have fixed it. I went into the Bios and disabled something called "Over Temperature Protection". I was a little nervous about turning it off but it's been a few days now and everything has been rock solid, I just hope that fixed it.

    Something is very wrong

    I have all of the power saving features turned on yes because to be honest I don't know enough about what they are to disable them. When it reboots there is no blue screens, no freezing, nothing like that... the screen just turns blank and you see the standard boot-up process. It's as if you...

    Something is very wrong

    Thanks for the help so far! I did a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit when I put the system together. Using a 100% legal version of Windows 7 I ordered some paste from Amazon and will see if that works, please hope it does. Last night I took the RAM sticks out and put them back in a different...

    Thank you! Just 1 more possibly dumb question and I will be set. I am waiting on the CPU, RAM, and hard drive to get here... right now all I have connected to the board is the PSU its self, here is my question. Is it safe, or even possible, to turn the power supply on just to see if the case...

    Thank you for the reply... is this the one you're talking about? If so, does it matter which one goes on which side?

    Hello all... I have not built a computer since the late 90s so please forgive me here. I have an Asrock z68 motherboard and a 700w power supply, but I can't figure out what goes where. I plugged in the 24 pin connector of course, but there is another "12 v" connector that I never remember...
