Hello to everyone.
I know nothing about the workings of computers. Let me get that right out. I suck, I know. I know how to use the internet extensively, photoshop, and all those silly things but I know nothing about anything of value when it comes to making computer work. But I am learning.
I bought a new computer the other night. It did not come with any operating system but I installed windows XP on it. This is what is in the computer:
AMD Phenom QuadCore 9500 AM2+ 2.2ghz 4mb cache
AMD Phenom Original stock fan and heatsink
Kingbox DDR2 PC2-6400 2GB1/800MHZ (Micron D9)
ECS Black Series A780GM-A (780G AM2+ 4DDR-1066 PCI-E 2.0)
Western Digital 160GB 7200rpm 8mb sata II
ATI Radeon HD 3450 512MB DVI VGA TV-OUT
ATI Raedon HD 3200 Graphics (Blue ray/HD DVD/FUll HD)
Onboard network card
Raidmax ATX 450W Dual Fan Power Supply
It also came with a disk with some drivers on it which was installed after windows....I then plugged in my blue line which runs to my roommates router (which is in working order as is the internet to the other computers on it) and nothing. Nothing at all. Not even a little icon or anything.
What do I do to fix this? Thanks in advance for your time. I can provide other details as best I can if needed.
