Ok so I tried that link you gave me and still nothing :( So would that be a hardware issue then maybe?

Hi I'm having some trouble with my internet connection. I'm on a LAN with 3 computers connected, it works on 2 of them, just not mine. I was playing a game the other day and it just disconnected randomly. I didn't think too much of it and rest my router. But it still didn't work so I did some...

All I have for hardware is the stuff you listed. As for the memtest86+ , how do I go about doing that? I google'd it and found the website to dl it, here's the link of it: http://www.memtest.org/download/2.11/memtest86+-2.11.exe.zip I then extracted it and saved that to a usb flash drive and...

Yeah at first I just stuck the old hard drive in there with windows xp on it, but then realized it didn't work so I formatted and did a clean install, and thats where I got that error message about the microsoft logo testing.

Oh, also the power supply is a cooler master 500w

Hi I'm having trouble with my new computer I recently put together (first time builder), I believe its the mobo. I put it all together, and loaded my old hard drive with win xp on it, and once I get to the desktop, the mouse and keyboard don't work. So I do the obvious thing and try different...

Yeah I don't have those options on my nero, mines just the free one, guess I have to buy the full one to do it. Oh well, if it is indeed my memory, I'm planning on getting memory and a new hard drive on payday anyway so I'll just wait until then, and if it still doesn't work, I'll replace the mo...

Yeah I unzipped it, the computer I'm typing on didn't have nero or any software to read ISO's so I downloaded nero as you said then burned it to a blank cd and put it in my cd drive.

K i dl'ed nero and burned the memory test to a cd, but it won't recognize it. I change the boot order to cd first in the bios, and then it just goes blank and idles until I shut it off.

I'm using xp home edition (the one that includes service pack 2) And you just want me to copy that to a cd and boot it on my comp? I thought you needed 3rd party stuff read ISO files? So won't it just not recognize it or something?

Ok so I've tried wiping the drive and re installing xp, but for some reason it keeps freezing at the same point in the installation (I've used this copy of xp a few times, so I know its not the cd or anything like that). It always freezes right when it says installing devices, maybe the whole...

Ah ok that would make sense then, thanks for the help

Also I was just talking to my mom who works with computers quite a bit, mostly software, but she knows a decent amount of stuff on hardware. She was saying that it could be that the Hard drive that came from my old comp is bad because it turns on and then realizes I've got this whole new set of...

Yeah the PSU is fine, 500w, and as I said, the graphics ram and hard drive are old, so as far as I know they shouldn't be using much power, my old comp with those parts ran fine on a 300w PSU. As for the standoffs, I'll check that out, this is my first build so to be honest I'm unsure how that...

Hi I'm having trouble with my new comp. I got a new Mboard (gigabyte ep45 ud3l), new PSU and a intel core 2 duo e8400. I put in my Hard drive ram and graphics from my old comp (which I plan to update, but just wanted to get the thing going). Here is my problem, I can get to the bios no prob, but...
