@realhtinfo ur welcome

@dstar0007 Thanks.

ur awesome for doing dis :)

thats a rip

@THEMRJISHERE It sounds like there is a defective component in there somewhere. All I can suggest is to meticulously troubleshoot one component at a time, read all your documentation, and post as several computer forums in the hopes that someone there may have had a similar situation to yours. Be sure to include all model number for your entire build, and be as clear as possible about what you have tried so far, and what problems you are still experiencing.

@realhtinfo the mobo is not makeing any beeping sounds as it does not have a buzzer or a speaker it is not the monitor as i have tryed a diffrent one there if no sound coming from the hard drive and have tryed a hdd with a operative system on and still nothing could i have shorted somthing out?

@THEMRJISHERE If the light is amber, it means the monitor is still in power saving mode and is not receiving a signal. Do you hear any noises like hard drives spinning up to indicate that the computer is running, but is simply not sending a signal? Could be a bad cable, or the wrong input selected on the monitor. Are there any error beeps or codes on the motherboard? Read your mobo manual and you'll likely find a diagnosis light or display of some sort.

@realhtinfo no still nothing the light on the monitor stays amber could it be the switch it turns it on??

@THEMRJISHERE It is showing "Sleep Mode" on the screen or you are getting no post at all? If you're not getting a post of any kind, take the components down to the bare minimum: Mobo, CPU, Ram...vid card if necessary. You should get a post. If so, add components back one at a time. Also, double check your power and switch wiring.

need help i have done all of that but when i turn it on every thing works the fan spins and the cd drive open and closes but nothing comes up on the monitor it just say in sleep mode???? and help???

@clevelandsmith65 Mostly Heatsink, but yeah. Could have been tight in a smaller case.

Damn the graphics card is huge

@Abraxas20012 I think 1 in 3 is really high. Where did you get the number?

@realhtinfo sound cards arent dead,only cuz 1 in 3 people has a sound card doesn't mean its dead

@vovdiiii schooled

@GFXEditing From your perspective, why would I have needed a more powerful machine? From my perspective, I wasn't planning on playing games on this system, so more power would have just equaled more upfront cost, more long term cost from power consumption, more noise, and more heat.

@realhtinfo u could of had a more powerfull and louder machine but just put it ouside the room with longer cables?

@GFXEditing Yep, if I would have had a time machine 2 years ago when this video was made I guess I could have bought a Core i7, or i23, or Intel Quantum X6000 Magic Edition. Too bad for me.

powerfull prossesor, pha! e4300 is only 1.8ghz single

@vovdiiii i agree, its worth that little more money and compared to the price of the whole project its a tiny price

@vovdiiii Because if you're using digital sound, which most folks are now that it's passed through HDMI in modern video cards, you don't need a sound card. And, if you're using digital audio out, built-in is good enough. Now, if you're not using HDMI or Digital, and if you're using analog, yes, there is a difference, but most people can't tell the difference. With the exception of gamers chasing frame rates or audiophiles looking for the best SNR, sound cards are dead.

@sss92220 OMG biostar ... Throw that chit away .

Are you also one of those who tell people that onboard sound is good enough. It is wrong. there is a big difference between onboard and a pci soundcard. you can not build a perfect media center without a good sound card. But everything else you're good at. Why do people always think that a sound card does not mean anything for the sound

@manyakols9 If your Grandma builds computers, that's awesome. She could probably teach you a thing or two.
