Well i finally got all the parts i needed for my dream pc. Here is what im running
Amd Athlon x2 3800
ASus a8n-sli mobo
256 e-geforce pci-e
2 gb patriot value ram
250 gig hd
dvr-110 pioneer
Once i finally put everything together i noticed that the video card needed two male power supply hookups in order to function to maximum power. I only one male plug free so i quickly modded a splitter turning that male to female to two males to hook into the video card. I booted up the system for the first time and everything loaded. I installed xp and got it running and its just running soo slow. To actually turn the computer on it takes like 5 minutes and when were finally in xp i cant even seem to run anything from the dvd drive. I installed windows 2 times now and its the same story. I have no idea what could be wrong.
At first i thought that my psu was being drained too much by dividing soo much of the power but then i unpluged those pwr cables just to see what would happen and everything acted the same. My psu is at 14 amps at +12v.
Im running out of ideas and my $1,000 pc is running like a ****n pentium 1 on windows 98 first edition.
Im at my witts end, if anybody can give me some helpful clues and anything to check i will definantly do but im just GRRR soo ****n mad and frustrated.
Please
Help
