Built System You Guys Suggest Now Doesn't Work

[Peerzy]

Have you tried accessing the CPU's hardware mainfraim system through the motherboards online ram sockets and using the dvd drive to interface through the hard drive into the BIOS?

Have you tried to install Windows basically?

so its workin now? then just pop in the xp cd and install...........

Somebody actually took our suggestions and built a system?

Crap.

I guess that random lists of parts culled from Newegg won't work anymore.

Disclaimer:
We only told you to buy the parts, not install them.
We are big fans of the pics full of shiny new components and expensive looking boxes, but have no clue how to make them work together.

Kids, that is a job for professionals...do NOT try this at home!

btw, i built my system after help of u guys and it worked fine , but then again, i had 200 euros more to spend, and allready had a monitor

i hear no beeps, the case light comes on when power up as well as the cdrw light, the cpu fan spins, and i am almost certain everything is correctly hooked up.

update: i got the computer to boot to the bios now and it is detecting drive, all i did was take cpu fan off and put it back on but the only way it comes on monitor is through vid card and not mobo plug-in.

Excellent update. Check the settings in the BIOS for onboard video.
