Gratz!

You already build everything?

Everything works the way it should?

Didn't build it myself :lmao: Just picked the parts. Everything works great except for one minor issue... Sometimes, like once in every 5-10 boots, the computer will just not boot up after the Windows XP boot screen. The van(which should go to 30% after that, the video card fan) will keep blowing at 100% and i just see a black screen. The HD-activity LED(i think it's that) is on all the time, so not blinking but consistently. Anyone ever had a problem like this? I think the problem is software related, but it might be the hardware too, if it is then i'll have to return it and have it fixed, which will cost me a week or so... ;)

Maybe something isn't connected the way it should be, or there is a minor problem.

I know I had once a problem when building a rig. My rig wouldn't boot up, the HD-acitivity LED was on all the time, and the monitor said there was no signal.

I know how, but the CPU was broken and I had to buy a new one.

The strange thing is, it doesn't happen all the time. It hasn't happened for over 4 days now :wacko: So i don't know if i fixed it or not :P

Reinstalled XP, thought the problem persisted, but it could be 'coincidence'... Haven't had that problems for 5 days now, so i guess it's alright. I think it's a problem with my SATA connector. Since when i burn a CD my PC gets all choppy and stuff, very weird shit. I'm thinking about trying to use our old CD drive(hope it's IDE) and put this new one in our old PC.

Nice PC :) .

Can't wait for you to tell us of your overclocking :dance2:

I haven't made any big overclocks, just small OCs on my processor, RAM and graphics card. Processor: 50 MHz, RAM: 32 MHz, Graphics card: 50 MHz. I haven't updated my initial thread though, the specs listed now aren't right, I'll update them when I'm sober, some time tomorrow, most likely.
