And I know that I build every computer I had by myself just because I know what I'm doing. If something goes wrong I know that I have some special friends who have a special computer repair service who can provide help if it's necessary.

*Shrugs*
The first PC I built on my own (this one) I built with nothing but the manuals and a tutorial on youtube, took me about 3 hours because I was extremly careful but this rig has been running problem free for over a year. In fact, it's been running much better than my friend who paid a store to put his together or any of the store bought ones I had before this one.
I made my recommendation based on that.

1.) Get blue prints
2.) Buy materials
3.) put materials together
4.) move in
Maybe if you are building an outhouse LOL. Building a computer is not a complicated task. You place the parts on their pre-set positions then connect the cables. It is in no way comparable to the task of constructing a building. Maybe if you are building a lego house, that's a solid comparison. |

it is hard my last rig i put together seemed so easy but as soon as i put the water cooling and everything i started to get confused. Sure its easy enough putting things in the slots but it isnt so easy diagnosing what part isnt working like it should be. and a miss diagnoses could mean extra 200$ down the drain.
Im just sinking the extra 80$ into a 850 wat power supply hopefully that will fix it. Like i said i didnt account for the water cooling and 3 fans on top of this big ass video card. my prevous pc ran on 500w so :L

Why the hell are you using a water based cooler in the first place?

Have you analyzed the beep-error which get when the PC starts to boot up? Don't buy stuff if you don't know if it's will
ever fix your problem.

roflmao.......
This thread is exactly why I shake my head when a bunch of gamers on an internet site say, "build your own comp, it's easy".
Everything is easy, any moron can do it, until something goes wrong......
I feel bad for you areo - you spent a bunch of money and made a lot of effort to build a comp, but now you have no backup support or anything. If you fuck something up and have to replace parts, any "perceived" saving you had are out the window.
Building your own comp is like building your own home. It's easy as hell and you can save some money doing it yourself..... if you know what you are doing!!!!
You know, I had no other help than the internet when I built my first computer and it wasn't without issues when I did. Even so, I would still recommend people to build their own. |

I don't have Skype. But I have a old ICQ account which we could use for that. (Do you have an ICQ Account?)
Otherwise I can maybe use a account from a friend or just register a own.

The reason why people build computers is to save money. Buying a pre-built computer effectively increases the cost to twice as much as buying the parts separately. If you build it yourself all that money can be put in to better parts and thus better performance. But not everyone cares about performance or saving money, that's why not everyone builds them themselves. |

If you have time, try to disassemble it completely and try to start over again slowly. Pay close attention to mobo schematics. Maybe you just looked something over. Or always not so popular last resort, pack it all up, give 50 eur to some pc technician in some shop to figure it out and assemble for you. You will still probably save lot of money.
I still stand for it - if you choose from existing TESTED buyers guide configs floating and updated on pc enthusiast sites regularly - even simple person can built himself pc with little pain.
On the same note, did you know you can have working 98% vannila macbook pro for 1/3 price with some cheap HP notebook and some command line hacking stuff to make it think its actually mac?
Or pretty solid powerful router with Storage area network capability by simply uploading modified custom firmware to consumer bargain bin model?
Only 1% of potential buyers will find out, and even less will try to do it. And its ok, if you are not up to it - just pay and buy whole genuine shebang. The workers in factories must feed their families too...

I'm not sure but if it's fits in your case but when I went back from university I had a idea. I could swear
that I had the same problem with a computer which I build for a buddy. The cause of this problem was
that he wanted a external fan control which means that there was no fan connected to the special cpu-fan connector
on the mainboard.
When I started the computer it instantly shut down because the internal fan control of the mainboard thought there are
no fans attached and with that it shuts instantly down to protect the CPU from thermal damage.
The fix of it was to attach one fan to the cpu-fan connector and going into the BIOS to disable the CPU fan alert shut down.
Since you have a water cooling: How are you're fans connected to the motherboard?

Okie i think i got it nailed solid.
Whenever i take the RAM out the computer runs for a long time.
But whenever i insert 1 RAM in any order or the order shown on the motherboard manual it just derps out.
But of course i cant go to post without that Ram stick.
But what would be the reason for the RAM freaking out?.
it should be fine as i did not touch the pins and always discharged.

I have a stupid, stupid question and i cba to look it up myself... You're sure the ram you have fit the mobo?  I assume that's not it, but it's strange then that you'd get 2 bad ram sticks :/ Better hope it's not your mobo that's shot |
