    Thanks for the help. It turns out that I am used to older motherboards and didn't realize this one had 2 power connections. I hooked it up and everything works great. Thanks again.

    I bought a ASRock A780GXE/128M motherboard with an AMD 5050e cpu. I have built a few systems in my time, but this one is being a pain. I installed in the case first and then tried the doing it out of the case as suggested by the moderator. All I am hooking up is the CPU and CPU fan and PSU(Antec...

    Have some parts. Still need motherboard help for low budget build.

    I had done months of research and was starting to slowly buy parts, to help wiht the budget. I have bought some parts from Newegg over the past couple of months. I was waiting on the motherboard to lower in price (GIG GA-MA69GM-S2H) (AMD AM2 board) and they deactivated it. Guess you can't...

    Motherboard Chipsets 101 Needed?

    I have been geeting suggestions across the net on motherboards for a new budget build. I will just be using this for basic internet usage. Maybe video editing. No gaming. $400.00 is my limit. Can someone explain the difference in the chipsets? P35, 945P, 405, 690G, 630a, g31, 945GC...

    Need general build recommendation

    So basically I can look on the Gigabyte website and see what processors the GA-P35-D3SL supports and see what I want to spend? Wow I looked, it takes about 150 processors. How do i choose? I think the E8400 at $189 might be a little pricey for me. I will have to look at some less expensive...

    Budget is $300-$400.00. I had a Abit Nf-7, Athlon XP 2700+, 20GB HD(which I had just bought a 160GB, still in box),WINXP, 1GB Memory, and the gibabyte video I mentioned. Nothing special. Just a basic system. Even a motherboard with an onboard video card is proabably the way to go for me...

    My old NF-7 V2 fried the other week. I decided to start from scratch with a very limited budget set by my wife, since we already have a laptop. I had just bought a: WD1600AAJB 160GB from Newegg and hadn't installed it yet. I also some usable parts I suppose from the old system: GIGABYTE...
