Help Pluging Up Cords

[DarkClown12]

So get a new PSU and then hook everything up and go into the bios and all by pressing del and dont worry about the error i am getting on boot-up?

Just start by getting the 400w power supply replaced.

When i do that can someone walk me through setting bios up or something to that effect?

Go into bios, select defaults.
Then select IDE auto detect.
If you've got usb keyboard or mouse find and enable USB legacy support.
Then save & exit.

That should be enough to allow you to install windoze.

if the processor is suspected, remove it. the system should post without a chip (if its bad it should still post anyways)

Not true. Without a CPU it won't post.

lol sorry ur right it wont post

BUT, you can still see things on the monitor and edit the BIOS lol thats wht i meant sorry

Where&#39;s the processor that&#39;s going to run the bios setup?

[DarkClown12]

what if windows 98 is already loaded on the harddrive?

(note to self: talk to people who actually tried things that i say)

look, the BIOS is dealt with thru a chip on the mobo: no processor needed. ive tried it with no processor and with a cracked one: i know it works&#33; geez...


now its ur turn to hit ur hed on the wall buddy
