    Front headphone audio jack not working on new build

    I recently put together my first pc, and everything went okay with the build, but I just noticed that the headphone jack in the front is not working.

    installing windows 8.1 on new pc: Partitions?

    The partitions that it created are: recovery, system, MSR(reserved), and primary. I realize now that I would have to install the operating system on the primary, but I'm still not sure if it was supposed to create all of those.

    installing windows 8.1 on new pc: Partitions?

    I'm in the process of installing Windows 8.1 on a new computer that I just built and I recall watching a vid where someone said to create a new partition. Well, when I did, it created like 4 diff partitions. I don't know if this is normal and/or which one to choose to install the operating...

I'm assuming the parts...

You may even be fine with getting the...

    My first build - Help please

    If you mean are they compatible, yes they are. I'm no expert by any means, as I recently bought all the parts for my first build myself, but I thought I should try and answer some peoples questions if I can, considering all the help I got in these forums. I just did a real quick check on...

    So close!! How does this build look? ($600 budget)

    Okay, I just checked actually on the specs for the motherboard that I'm getting and it comes with two SATA cables, so it should be all good. False Alarm!! haha

    So close!! How does this build look? ($600 budget)

    I think I may have gotten the answer I was looking for. I posted pretty much the same question on Amazon for that drive and someone told me this: "Drives, including this one, will normally come with mounting hardware only. Any cabling usually comes with the motherboard or you will need to...
