The problem is now that I can't get the computer to recognize my hard drive at all, i go into the boot disk and type in C:\ and it says that there is no C drive...there is the problem...

Ok, I'm trying to repair Windows, but when I push R for repair, it tells me that it can't find a hard disk drive on my computer, which makes no sense because my hard drive is recognized when I start up...I can't reformat, I have a paper on the computer that is due monday and other important...

Ok, I bought a new mobo last night because I knew that there was very little possiblilty of it being anything else. I bought a MSI K8T Neo, mostly because it was the only 754 board that they had in stock. After installing that, I finnaly got it to post, however, I'm now stuck in an endless cycle...

Yeah, but he's a lot bigger than me, and there's no way to get anything out of him...

I'll probably be buying a new mobo, and if it doesn't fix the problem, i'll return it, that simple...anyone have any suggestions for a brand/model?

Unfortunately, I don't know anybody with a 64, all the other PCs in the house are intel... do you think I should just go buy a mobo? If so, what would you reccomend, I don't want a stupid Chaintech again, their website and customer support are crap.

Ok, good news, I just bent back the pin, but it was bent all the way over, so it was difficult and I bent a few other pins in the process. After bending those back, I put it back in the mobo and I no longer get loud beeping noises when I turn it on. However, it still will not post. Right now I...

I Already have the HSF and the CPU separated, so I could bend the pin back? Any idea of a place that might do that?

Hi, I, according to my brother, fried my CPU yesterday. It was really wierd. I was just working regularly, and I wanted to plug in my joystick to play a game, so I went back and pluged it in, but my mouse is really touchy and I knocked it out of alignment, so I restarted my computer a couple...
