Need help with building my computer! - Hardware & Software

I'll have some videos and/or pictures up soon. I'm putting together my new computer and l'll probbly need some help.

Add me on steam.

Tell us what problems you're having.

[QUOTE=Shadowsniper789;19518506]Tell us what problems you're having.[/QUOTE] Sure, sorry for not being descriptive. First, I was able to install CPU, RAM, CPU Fan into Mobo. Now, I am trying to prepare the case--putting the shield thing panel on back of case. It will not fit. =(

Please post a picture.

Oh, we got it :P. I might need help with something else. Should I install my Video Card after I put my Mobo inside the case, or before?

[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;19518759]Oh, we got it :P. I might need help with something else. Should I install my Video Card after I put my Mobo inside the case, or before?[/QUOTE] Put it in after. Anything else?

I will post back every 15 minutes or so on updates, if I have a problem. Thanks Shadowsniper789

Your welcome, I had problems when I build my first computer also. (almost everyone has)

[QUOTE=Shadowsniper789;19518822]Your welcome, I had problems when I build my first computer also. (almost everyone has)[/QUOTE] First build I made had a defective motherboard. :/

Well, the screws that came with the order either don't fit into the holes or can't reach past the mobo. I got one screw in but I don't know about the others. I'll keep trying, and if you have any advice please post it. Edit: Now that I've played with it a bit, I have gotten more in. I'm still having the problem of the deeper holes though.

Make sure you use standoffs!

Have you put in stand-offs yet?

... I was able to screws in 2 of them, but I did not put in standoffs. What are standoffs? How do they look like? OMFG

Take out all of the screws. Standoffs look like these: [IMG]http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg220/bdrem1/Parts/Standoff/STANDOFFM3Alarge-10-2-BD.jpg[/IMG] Put them in first.

I may have scrapped them off while screwing. Yeah, the little circles totally encompass the two holes that I didn't try to screw in.

[QUOTE=Vexont;19521712]I hope you had a return policy. Good luck! :buddy:[/QUOTE] What? So, they were not supposed to be taken off?

[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;19521979]What? So, they were not supposed to be taken off?[/QUOTE] Don't worry. If you turn on your computer while there's no standoffs on it, things will short out and you'll have to return/replace them. But you didn't turn anything on yet. So don't worry.

Also, some mobo IO shields have little metal flaps yo use to help secure it to the MOBO. You're suppose to bend those out and get them around the ports, but I just rip them off.
