No boot

[LarsReviews]

You don´t have to remove the battery. There are jumpers on the board. Even though I have build a PC a few times now, I always read the manual. You should do that too.

[Guest]

Yeah, I doubt removing and replacing the battery will do much but lets wait for the diagnostics to be posted on the forums.

OK, good idea, post what results you get if you have any problems.

My dad says he's thinking about what to do (I'm only 14).. So I don't know yet what will happen... He isn't letting me do anything Is there any other thing that it could be? Because it worked perfectly fine before? I'm really worried that the cooler master seidon fried it without me realising...

Ok - we're going to let it boot then. and see what pops up..

[Guest]

Is there no video at all? Or have you just killed it every time?

[itaroken_]

So you were turning off the PC bc of the debug led?

Then clear CMOS and let it boot, too many shutoffs at initialization isn't good...

It booted now, I'm in the bios and I have no idea why it didn't work before... I will let it be for a while to check that the average temperature is good - so far after 2 minutes the CPU is at 47°C and the motherboard is at 29°C.

Also the debug led is at 66 (or bb), would that stand for bios booted?

[Guest]

It could do but I would check the manual BEFORE making assumptions. Good to know all is working thus far.

You booted it, then it works, go ahead and install the OS

I've got to plug in my graphics card, ssd, HDD. But I'm going to just turn off the computer, plug in only the DVD drive and ssd, turn it back on, and install and boot windows. Then once everything's fine, I'll go ahead and install the rest of the hardware. Sound good?

[Guest]

Yes, that is a good idea however I doubt anything will go wrong from BIOS onwards.

Oh and don't forget to check if SATA mode is AHCI iif you're using a SSD

You do that in the bios right?

[Guest]

Yes you do, under SATA, or storage or something along those lines.

Ok thanks to you all for such useful and quick help! *crosses fingers* I should be there soon...

[Guest]

Cool, let me know when you get it all working!

[itaroken_]

Cool, let me know if it works!

I just came back from dinner so its been on the bios for 15 minutes now. Its still very stable at 48°C. I'm now going to turn it off and plug in my ssd, and DVD drive. Wish me luck! (it should be fine)

Also, when I finally get on LTT.com on there, you won't have to suffer un-quoted posts and post floods. Thanks for sticking with me through it

[Guest]

Good luck, although it should be plain sailing from here on. 

 

Any other issues or if you need advice feel free to send me a PM.
