    New rig, fan spins but no boot

    Problem solved. Thank you everybody for the input. The problem was that I placed the 6 pin PCI-E power cord on the wrong socket in the Strider. Now is up and running. Thanks.

    New rig, fan spins but no boot

    Yes I cleared the CMOS, still the same problem However, I did have to take out the old 0502 BIOS chip and install the new chip that ASUS provide. I don't think I made a mistake in swapping the chip as I made sure there was a click sound when I inserted the new BIOS chip in.

    New rig, fan spins but no boot

    ASUS P5W e6400 Silverstone Strider 600W I'm not sure what seems to be the problem. Checked all power plugs and it seems to be fine. When I press the power button the fan spins up for a second and then stop. I do get a green LED light on the motherboard. What could cause this?

    Overclocking questions

    How do I know what timing is valid? For instance what decides if I should change my timings from 2-2-2-2 to 2-3-2-2 or 2-3-3-3? I know as I OC my FSB higher I need to loosen up the timings, but how much do I loosen up? Like 2-2-2-2 to 2-3-2-2 or 2-3-3-3. Thanks.

    Are SATA hard drives hot-swappable?

    Don't mind my noobish question. But I asume they are swappable right? I can just take out my old hard drive from one of my computers and retain all the files and stuff onto a newer computer? This is just a storage drive, not a boot drive. Thank you.

    Question about a storage hard drive

    So I don't have to format anything right? And windows will immediately recognize the hard drive? Sorry for all the questions, kind of uninformed about these things. But so far thanks for all your replies.
