    Is this temp ok? [n00b]

    I set my CPU to 1.4ghz / 133fsb in the BIOS and removed the front entrance fan (as it was loud as all hell). This is also with all of the case "cladding" put back on to seal the box. My current temps are: CPU: 46c System: 33c Good? or should I buy a quiet front fan? Thx, everyone!

    Need help installing O/S (Win2k), please

    I just finished building the machine and it's time to install Windows 2000. I have the full, install CD-rom, but no boot disks. Is there a way for me to access the CD-rom without them? I've tried but it won't let me run "Setup.exe" in DOS. I downloaded boot disks off the 'net and got through...

    My apartment is a little cool - and I'm not sure how accurate the thermostat reads - those temps are also with all of the case cladding removed. I'll post updated numbers when I get home from work...

    Thanks for the help, everyone. I reset the CMOS and reseated the video card and ram. All is well.

    Sorry for the newbie Q, but I thought I'd ask to make sure... I just finished building my system and have it up and running. In CMOS, my stats are: CPU: 33c System: 17c I have put an SK-7 w/ a Vantec Stealth on top of my Athlon (1.1ghz) and have also 3 NMB and 2 Sunon case fans. Am I ok...

    Beep, Beep, Beep...nothing...comp won't start

    well, I unattached all IDE drives, etc...so...I'm guessing I might have torched my MB (although I don't really see how) any ideas?

    Beep, Beep, Beep...nothing...comp won't start

    thx for that link...so, you think it could be a short? I installed the original HSF back on the chip and it continues to beep 4 short bursts...

    Beep, Beep, Beep...nothing...comp won't start

    Everything seems to be attached correctly. The beeps are 4 short bursts and then it turns off.

    Beep, Beep, Beep...nothing...comp won't start

    I've just put my machine together and when I turn it on it beeps a few times at me and then shuts down. The fans spin, but nothing. Any ideas?
