  1. Right, here's my problem i have a spare computer that i wanted to put windows on. So i decided to get it out and install windows on to i found an empty HDD and decided to put my boot USB in the computer. It's then went to a black screen with the error message saying that the Boot/Bcd is corrupted or missing please get your windows instillation disk and press enter. I was saying to myself "i all ready have my Bootable USB in the USB slot" so i went and checked the bios to see if it was being detected. It was so i thought maybe it was just a dodgy HDD so i went and got a tone of them and when i say a tone i mean 20 from this massive box i had upstairs! I carry them all down to my room and start plugging them in one by one all but a single drive worked and even then the one that did work took me to Pfsense and not my windows boot on my USB. I then thought it might be my USB so i knew went and got all 10 of my USB's... I s**t you not i took all of them and installed Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and even Vista and all of them gave me the same error "Boot/BCD 0xc000000e". By this point i was pretty pissed and was losing focus on the challenge at hand so i decided to launch it without the HDD even plugged in and i'm still getting the error. By this point i was just confused i thought that only Windows saved to the HDD i didn't think it would store information any where else. I don't know what to do i'm lost for ideas. I've had issues before but i've solved them in time this one has taken me all most a week I've searched google to no success. and help is much appreciated i might even fly to where you live and kiss you if this goes on for long enough. If your wondering what the spec's on this machine are they are as followed: CPU:Intel pentium Motherboard: Intel serverboard RAM: 4GB of ECC memory HDD: A bunch of them but I've tested and they all work fine. I know it's safe to say that there's no issues with these parts as they where able to launch Pfsense. I was thinking to try Linux but i don't want to waste my time in less anyone here says try it.
  2. just to tell you just found it i just re sat the cpu's and it work must of had one a bit out of place or something because they wern't up side down like i thoght
  3. what does this error bleep mean i can't find anything on the intel manual? here's the intel manual don't see anything to do with the speaker only lights had only one orange? http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/d38960006_s5000datasheet.pdf
  4. what happens with the lights when i plug the power cable in is firstly light a goes green and stays green light b then goes blue for 4-5 seconds and then goes off. then when i press the power button the green light flashed between green and orange and then turn on
  5. i didn't have an 8 pin so i got this splitter and it had an 8 pin to 8 pin and 4 pin my cpu only has a four pin for cpu and a 6 pin which i thinks for gpus
  6. it's a intel CPU-S5000SL here the manual if you want http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/d38960006_s5000datasheet.pdf
  7. i've just finished building a system i have turned it on and connected the power cable and a vga cable to the interrogated slot. and i'm getting now image on screen and cannot access the bios what is the best way to go about trouble shooting the pc?
  8. i just brough another front panel io thing for it which cost $50 i'm not giving up on it this one is made for the dimesion 9150
  9. i've tried this and the best i got was the cpu fan to spit out dust and the gpu fan to violently spin and vibrate it was a scary experience
  10. i don't thinks it's dead motherboard lights up and ethernet port lights up when i put a power cable in i just wanna find up what pins need connecting to jump start it
  11. it's a btx motherboard and yes i know it's old just wanna start it up and run pfsense off it
  12. i'm having an issue with this dell motherboard as it doesn't have standard front panel IO connector in the motherboard the look like this https://i.gyazo.com/937b4587d25086d7b4e59fdb932bd7b7 (sorry for bad quallity)I have tried jump starting it by basically randomly guessing which one to connect together and just sticking my screw driver between them I'm surprised i haven't been blown up yet as well. the best i got was the cpu fan to stay running for like 5 mins will it was in and i can get the gpu fan to spin for two seconds look online for a while to try a find the power switch so i can jump it but i've had no luck. i have got a new cable but that also hasen't helped at all as it is not even turning on. btw it's not an ide port http://i.imgur.com/n0mDlYZ.jpg i found this but i don't know what to ground the power swtich to to make it turn on any idea?
