I just finished building a computer and it actually started the first time! BUT.....I have a few error messages.
Here's the machine:
ASUS A8V DELUXE K8T800PRO
AMD ATHLON 64 3200+ 939Pin
2 GB RAM (Two DDRAM 1GB 128X64 PC3200 CORSAIR sticks)
300GB WD Hard Drive
BENQ 16X DVD+/-RW w/ lightscribe
ATI All-In-Wonder RADEON 9600XT
Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS Gamer
Pinnacle Studio AV/DV Deluxe
MGE Mid Tower ATX Case (Newegg Item #: N82E16811171035)
I may not have everything connected right with the case because it beeps a few seconds after I turn it on (single beeps about a second or 2 apart) and I get a flashing 'Err" message in the digital display instead of a temp reading.
The computer boots up and it goes to the BIOS screen. Both the hard drive and DVD are recognized and I have them set up as Primary Master and Secondary Master respextively (no slaves). I was able to install Win XP with no problems, but now when the computer boots, I have a few error messages before the BIOS screen appears. If I leave it alone, Windows starts after about a minute of nothing. One of the error messages is "No drive attached to the FastTrack controller. The BIOS is not installed."
As far as the case goes, there were 2 wire sets labeled "HDD LED." One was Black/yellow, the other was Red/White or Blue/White (I'd have to look again to be sure.) There was only one set of LED pins on the MB, so I left the Black/yellow disconnected.
I was surprised how little info came with the case considering all the whiz-bang stuff the front display has. There were NO wiring instructions included!
My next project is trying to replace the cord on my 19" KDS XF-9Bi monitor. Any place I can look to see which colored wires go to which pins? I bought a replacement cord at Radio Shack, but when I cut the ends off the 2 cords......the wire colors were different! Aaargh!
Any advice? Thanks!
