    Please help? My custom-built PC won't work!

    Yes, first build. And success! It took some careful maneuvering of the pins, but I finally got the power supply to plug into one of the red, black, yellow things, and then I just connected things off of that. My last question is: I bought two cold cathode lights. Is it okay for them to be...

    Please help? My custom-built PC won't work!

    Yeah. CPU fan works fine. I'm trying to do that, but they just don't fit in with eachother for some reason. No matter how hard I try to push them together, or switch sides, they won't meet.

    Please help? My custom-built PC won't work!

    That didn't work. I didn't think it would though. My problem is that I have nothing to connect my fans to.

    Please help? My custom-built PC won't work!

    Are the black, white, and yellow cables supposed to be chained off eachother like they are? I tried taking them apart and plugging each set into the power supply, but they don't fit. Also, I plugged one of the power supply clips into the cd drive, and it worked, but it fell out a minute later...

    Please help? My custom-built PC won't work!

    The case is off because I was trying to fix the video card to get video to work. Video works, drives and fans still don't.

    Please help? My custom-built PC won't work!

    I just ordered the following parts from Newegg and tried to assemble my computer, but somewhere along the line I made a mistake. When I turn the computer on, the screen loads, but my fans and optical drive won't work. I think I got something messed up among the lines of interconnecting all the...

    Can anyone tell me if my parts will work together?

    Alright, then with the exception of one more question, I think I'm ready to order! (But not after I thank you, mfenn, for answering the majority of my questions as well as those of almost every other topic poster I see! :D) I changed my RAM to this because I like the brand more (it seemed more...

    Can anyone tell me if my parts will work together?

    :D Alright, so it's decided that I'm going to review the parts next Tuesday (12/14) with my parent who knows nothing about computers (xd) and most likely going to buy them all. Can anyone PLEASE tell me if there's anything I'm missing? This is what I will be purchasing: [x] Case [x] Power...

    Can anyone tell me if my parts will work together?

    Alright, thanks, will update! But can I ask why I don't need a hex core for gaming? It seems like the more the better. Also, is that video card okay? I was going to go for an Ati Radeon HD 5850, but didn't see it there. Is the Sapphire better or worse? And also, is the RAM alright? It seems...

    Can anyone tell me if my parts will work together?

    PLEASE HELP! I just ordered the following parts from Newegg and tried to assemble my computer, but somewhere along the line I made a mistake. When I turn the computer on, it beeps (which I know means something was installed incorrectly) and my monitor doesn't even load any screen. Can anyone...
