Computer Help

ok so i built my own computer i finished it yesterday connected all the wires. im having a problem when i turn the computer own i dont see anything on the screen. and when i connect the IDE wires to the 2 dvd drives they dont open at all when the IDE wire is connected to the motherboard when i plug out the IDE wire they work fine open and close but i cant install anything without the IDE wire connected. if any one built a computer and had have any of these problems or have any idea can you please help me thanks.

i think the first thing that it soupose to happen is when u first turn on the computer it has to go to the BIOS menu. but when i turn it on nothing shows up at all on VGA or HDMI idk why help

 

ive built my own computer from scratch like this,and i have no worries so far,the first thing u shud see on ur screen is the boot screen-running tru bios,etc,-u will not be takin into the bios menu,after everything u shud see "reboot and select proper boot device"(then u insert the windows cd into ur cd drive and run the install)
since u are not seeing anything on the screen,i wud suggest u disconnect all ide hardware,like hard drive,floppy drive,cd/dvd drives,and turn on the computer with your mouse and keyboard and screen connected,see if u get anything on screen there,if u do,continue to plug in your hard drive-boot up again,let it recognize the hard drive,then move onto cd/dvd drive

also try moving the memory stick in slot 1 to slot 3-then try to boot

if not try clearing the cmos by pressing the red small button on the bak of ur computer-then boot after disconnecting al the ide hardware i said before^^

i see ur hard drive is sata-please use sata slot 0 for the hard drive

plus u shud have gotten all sata hardware instead of having ur cd/dvd drive ide and then hard drive sata-but its no biggie

use vga as ur video cable for now,till everything is set and good

hit me up on aim man: busupshut2006 ill be glad tuh help

 

wow just by reading this i think its going to work ill try it tomorrow and let you know. thanks

one question what do you mean by use slot 0 for my sata hardrive i have it in slot 1 right now i dont think i have 0 lol

 

yea man look closely on your motherboard,it shut have the slots labled,if im correct there should be a slot 0 .

Look i took a picture of my motherboard for you,as an example



and i labled all slots too,but some motherboard are diffrent in the slot orders,but theey shud be labled,as u can see i circled where it says sata_0



and move that main power cable to the motherboard,from under the heatsink,thats bothering me lol,the heat frum the heatsink cud melt the plastic on the wire!

 

i had a similar problem when i was done with my pc but it was from the memory being in the wrong slot

 

ok ima check it out and yea i know i not gonna leave the power cable there i wanted to see if it work work first before i tie them up

oh well i gotta move my 2nd mem to the 3rd slot cuz i know thats wrong


wait one more question when i turn on the comp with the cd/dvd drives connected the computer wont let me open it at all idk why but when i disconnect the ide wires they can open and close idk why

 

not the 2nd mem,leave that there,move the first one to the 3rdslot,and the cd/dvd drive not to shure abt that yet,but i wud wait till we get visuals on the screen first then move onto that,thats why i told u disconnect everything and then hook hard drive upto slot_0 and move on form there,use vga video cable

 

mod can close this now.

 

try pulling the memory sticks and turn it on to see if you get memory beep codes

 

i fixed the problem a long time now it was the motherboard it was bad i got another one. mod can close this

 

dam,i wonder who helped u yo

 

yes thankz to sherrif
