I am posting this on my new computer, windows installed okay. What am I supposed to do now? I think i must have done something wrong because whenever i startup the computer, it goes the a black screen with white writing showing the specs of my computer and it says F1 to continues. When i...

Tried to install that little fan, but I don't have a small enough screwdriver, guess I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow to try it out. Thanks for all the help everybody, you have been great help.

So I put the side panel on and this is what I got idling for 10 minutes at the system monitor screen. CPU - 45C Board - 28C MCP - 70C So are these okay or should I take off the side panel?

There was a little fan that came with my mobo, but it said it was optional, is that what I need? The only thing I did was I took of the heat sink and fan and put it back on.

dang, now how do i fix that? The hot MCP i mean.

Yea! I tried it again without the side panel and here is what I got after idling for 10 minutes at the system monitor screen. CPU - 38C Board - 27C MCP - 73C What is MCP, that looks like it is running hot. I guess I just have to use my computer without the side panel. Also I...

No someone said that without a heat sink the hottest it should be is 50C. Since I am getting 80C with a heatsink, that must mean my CPU is broken right? Or I installed it wrong, which is highly probable.

it was like a drop If I just put in the cpu with no heatsink would the hottest it should get is 50C? If that is true then my CPU must be broken or I put it in wrong.

So should I wait a day to turn it on? So even without the fan the cpu shouldn't go hotter than 50C? Wha?! Doe sthat mean my CPU is broken or I installed it wrong?

So there is nothing I can do? No I haven't installed windows because I saw the temps were so high and it went up to 80 and shut off. So if it shuts off like that is it broken, I thought that was a safety precaution, or did it turn off because it was fried? So it is safe to turn on the...

I reseated the heat sink, but now another problem has risen. I think a small drop of sweat fell on my motherboard, so is there anything I can do? I heard water is bad for computers. I think I may have put too much arctic silver on the heat sink, can this be my problem and plus I had the skin...

There was this skin colored pad on the bottom of the heatsink , was I supposed to take that off? Will my cpu still work or is it broken if it had to automatically shut off?

I was looking at the bios and it was going over 80 and it shut off, I put the artic silver thermal paste on What is the right amount? I just tried to cover the cpu. Oh yea and it it shut off automatically does that mean the cpu is broken now?

It turned on, but now I think it is getting too hot, the cpu is going over 70 degrees celcius and I heard the highest it should go is 50.

I am trying to build my computer right now and so far I am doing horribly. So far i put in the motherboard, cpu, hdd, and ram. I am currently trying to put in the video card in to an antec 900 case and I put the video card in but the screw holes don't line up so what should I do? A lot of...

I don't think newegg sells a retail version of 64 bit vista

I found this monitor SAMSUNG 206BW Black 20" 2 ms (GTG) DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 800:1 (DCR 3000:1) - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001095 but I think that is a little too expensive for me, and they had cheaper ones with 2ms but they were 19"...
