Ok. I fixed the problem with the led on my moniter always being orange when i turn on the comp that i recently built. (The problem was that i went too fast and forgot to put the thermal paste on my cpu and nearly fried it. Luckily i got away with it and it still works.) Afterwards, i installed windows 2000 pro and the drivers that came on the various cds from my hardware.
Now my problems:
1) Auto-restart after windows starts up, blue screen errors, 200gb hard drive reads as approx. 130gb, screen lock-up when a cd-r is put in most of the time, more various error messages.
my solution to error #1) download service pack 4
2) I am unable to connect to the internet (it cant seem to find any modems when the motherboard has integrated ethernet and i have cable service.)
my solution to error #2) ??????sp4??????, i have no idea
Things ive tried:
Putting in my 56k compaq presario modem into a pci slot. It couldnt read it.
Ive also tried useing my other comp to find a sp4 that i could download and put onto a cd for the new comp, but all the downloads ive found seem to want to auto install.
Can someone please help me. Its not fun haveing a brand new comp that takes me 15 minutes to start up from all the auto-resets and its like playing russian roulet with 5 bullets every time i want to load files from my other comp with a cd-r.
Also, if someone knows where I can download the sp4, that doesnt automaticly install, so I can put it on cd then please tell me. Thanks
