Just built new puter - wont boot!

Unread postby DeusIgnis » 5 Jul 12, 7:04 pm

Hey guys

Just bought a new puter

Mobo - Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H
CPU - i5-3570K
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB DDR3 1600
GPU - Gigabyte 2gb GTX 670
PSU - Corasir HX650
SSD - Corsair 120gb series 3
Case - Antec P183
HDD - WD Green 2TB

It has been a few years since I built a computer but noting much has changed, you plug it all in to the correct places and it works!

It does get power, the system fans spin and the power light goes on for half a second then it dies.

Ideas?

Cheers

Hmm, only the WD Green?

Word of advice, start saving for an SSD...

Yeah, it seems... awkward.

Random thing, I am now downloading at 1.36MB/s. This is on origin DLing BF3. This is consistant.

My previous fastest being about 1.1MB/s

Average being around 800KB/s

Does the internet like me better cause I have a shiney new puter?

Sadly not, there's some discrepancy because of compression IIRC.

Possibly, or it could be the better network card. (I assume you're using the onboard ethernet?)
I get that on my computer, I can get 2MB/s max, but on the family PC max is about 1.6MB/s. (and I am using wireless ~25m from the router)
The read / write speed of your hard drive will the downloads a bit.

I hope Logitech make the G700 compatible with the gaming software. It is a gaming device after all. -___-
Logitech make really nice hardware, but their software is being terrible.

Shopfront

It was kinda a impulse buy... as in had been floating around in my head for a month or so, then woke up yesterday morning and said **** it, new puter time.

Got the bulk of it from MSY Balcatta and the Case and SSD from Austin.
