I built a computer for my first time, without any outside instruction other than the manuals, so I was expecting problems. Now I need to fix them. I'm going to give you as much information as I can, but If you need more, just ask. Here are the parts:
Caviar GP 1TB IntelliPower Serial ATA-300 Hard Drive
e-7100 nForce 630i 775 mATX Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Processor BX80570E8400 - 3.0GHz, 6MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, Wolfdale, Dual-Core, Retail, Socket 775, Processor with Fan
Patriot Dual Channel Viper 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory (2 x 2048MB)
Apevia X-Supra Case Beast PSU Bundle - Black Clear Side Mid-Tower, 680 Watt Blue Light Power Supply
XFX GeForce 9800 GT - 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0, (2) Dual Link DVI, HDTV, VGA Support
First of all, my computer will turn on but not turn off. The light by the on switch doesn't work either. Second of all, I think I need to connect my graphics card to a power supply, but without it the cards red lights on the side are on and the fan is working, but with the power supply the lights turn off but the fan still works. Also, none of my USB ports seem to work because my laser mouse doesn't light up when I turn my comp on. Finally, my monitor wont turn on. It is a VGA monitor and my graphics card has DVI ports but came with a VGA - DVI adapter, so it should work. When I plug the VGA cable in, the screen stays black and the yellow light on the bottom is on (it should be a green light), and if I unplug it, the monitor says something like, cable not plugged, or some other message and the light stays yellow on the monitor. From this I at least know that there is a connection between the two.
Sorry, there are a lot of problems, but this is my first time. Again if you need more info, ask. Thanks!
