Amen to that good bud! I am fresh(well, probably not the most appropriate word after 6hrs sleep!:twitch:) from my first night of hardcore gaming with a new game in over 2yrs! I shunned consoles completely after xbox1 due to the lame joypad FPS experience. My new baby....or should I say...

The ram seems to have been the problem, I merely reseated them and gave her a boot and whe-hey, power! Thanx dudes, I thought i was in over my head there for a while..... though I'm sure i'm not quite out of the woods yet, and so I will prob's be pestering yee for a while yet Big up to the...

Its alive......ALIIIVE!!!! :roll:Windows is installing and fingers crossed i have managed to set the BIOS correctly. Oh me oh my, the suspense is killing me:D Thank you all so much you good folk! :respect: ........so this is what creating a wee lil life feels like. Heres to...

:o This was the cause of the 3 red GPU lights. But as it banished them, it created the new problem of "power error" as per continuous short beeb code I think i'll just have to go over everything again tomorrow. There is a very good chance this is human error.

Nope, ha ha, its just a big ass loan that's hanging over my head (might explain the anxiety:D)

So sorry man, a few changes due to stock issues Intel Core? i7 Quad Processor i7-920 4,8GT/sec, 8MB, Boxed Corsair Powersupply TX 850W 140mm fan, 4x PCI-E 8-pin BenQ 24" LCD E2400HD TCO03 1920x1080, 1000:1, 2ms, VGA/DVI/HDMI Logitech G9 Laser Mouse, USB Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5, X58...

I've read the manual (again with this in mind specifically) and not to worry i merely pressed the button on the back while powered off...without the jumper cap (i dont have one, but the manual says a screwdriver will do). Anyway, the "continuous short beeps" means "power error". This does...

Eh, I think cleared the cmos (clear cmos switch which can be accessed externally in the rear) and I now see a power swith and RESET SWITCH on the mobo!?!?! What did i do, what do i do! Edit: but on further investigation i may have not...... Does the system need to be powered up to CLEAR the...

Thank you kindly sir, the 3 red lights are now dead! But still no signal:banghead: I even ran out and bought the DVI cable. Their was a difference this time in that, after about 30secs i was getting what i can only describe as a siren or smoke alarm!:twitch: di-di-di-di-di-di....etc until i...

Thanks again man, these are the 3 lights i'm getting (above). Is there a cable thats supposed to go from the card to the mobo, some other threads seem to mention such a connection? The power plugs seem to be plugged in, both 6/8-pin The fan on the GPU spins as i think it should and its in a...

Cheers for the quick reply mate, I was mistaken, The monitor came with a VGA cable which i have to convert to DVI to fit the card? Does this change things any? Yep there are 3 continuous RED!!! lights on the GPU....

Well my rig has been constructed and everything seems cool......within the case at least! But my new monitor wont detect any signal:confused: . My bloody card, 4870x2, came with minimal instructions and I'm not sure about the power connections..... There are 2 PCI-E cables from my PSU, both...

Cheers man, thanx for the encouragement which seems to be waning since i moved from spec'n to buying. ....such as? What part/s do you think this is the case with? are they not good enough to not need "the maximum potential", which is what i admitted i need to get me through the next few...

These were recommended on this thread as part of a set up. I'm not "one of those guys who just throws money.....", I merely face the fact that i won't be able to keep up with tricks and tweeks that keep my system running sweet due to lack of effort and interest. Can anyone recommend a good...

I think they are meant to go together....:o? Thats what I'm wondering, how does "raid"(i think:o) work....physically...
