Alright, so I'm a bit confused by something, in the photo it shows two HDD led's I only have one, do I put it at the top or the bottom? Also, I don't have a PLED, but I have a bunch of other stuff not in the manual?

okay then have you got the right hdmi input on the tv?

Yeah of course, unless I'm supposed to put a specific HDMI cord into one side and the other, I am using the HDMI imput correctly. I even tested it with another device that needs HDMI and it works fine.

My ram is in the slot, but the little (I don't know the name so I'm making one up on the spot) ram clips (?) are not holding the ram. Personally, I don't know why, and I don't know how to fix this, but it's pretty snug in it's place already. I was told I should hear a click sound but I didn't hear any of that when I inserted the ram.

make sure the clips are closed, take the ram out. Then open all the clips. After that place the ram into the slot and push on both sides intill the clips close on them

The clips are open already holding the ram. I had already pushed on both sides but I was afraid to break it. I'll try again right now.

Okay, just did it and it clipped. Something that I noticed is that my Liquid CPU Cooler is HOT, like really hot. I unplugged the computer and I'm letting it rest now, but is that normal? I don't think that has anything to do with the computer not showing anything on my tv display, right?

And about the overheat. When you start the computer you will be in the bios. There you can see the Temp of the cpu if it goes over 40 deg Celsius then turn it of and tell me
