Yesterday (after hours of frustration) i built my computer but still cant get it to work...

I installed all the parts and booted it up, then i got into the bios fine
I changed the boot order to boot the cd first then the harddrive and reset it with the windows xp cd in...but nothing happened
I kept resetting the comp and it was either nonresponsive or it just had a blinking underscore on the top right of the screen and never changed

I reset the CMOS and now i cant even get into the bios...but it always tells me "CMOS checksum error-defaults loaded"

anyone know what that means...or what to do to fix it?
 
iidk that message comes to me sometimes when I OC too high but I have no trouble getting into the bios. did you take the battery out? ive had numerous problems solved on different computer by taking out the battery.
 
Yeah...i took out the battery and followed the instructions to reset the cmos from my mobo manual

everytime i turn it on i either get to the screen just before the bios (then it just goes to the blinking underscore thing) or its just nonresponsive
 
Don't even bother screwing around with it.. It's under warranty. I ALWAYS recommend that you don't play with it, just march it straight back to where you bought it from and kindly ask them to replace the mobo. No fuss, no muss, and you won't go grey in the process. :)
 
wow youre a genius...i reseated the video card and it went straight into the bios

can you also tell me what to do next so i dont screw it up ;)

The problem is he built it. And then he would be taking the computer apart to take the motherboard in. I always mess around with it to fix the problem. Glad that it was a minor problem.
 
well it looked like it was going to work
i got into the bios fine...but i still cant get it to boot the cd =[
 
make sure that if you burned the bootable cd that it burned correctly. and yes if it is a factory cd then see if the cd drive is recognized.
 
i was assuming the drive is plugged in properly because the few occasions where it lets me into the bios, it shows my dvd-drive (im using an ide hard drive and it recognizes the harddrive as master and the dvd-drive as slave)
 
Thats can do strange things to your computer if you try and load os from a recovery disk on a different computer other then the one its meant for. It normally contains certains drivers and such not to meantion its illegal.
