No screen, USB Power etc.

You built the OP's rig?

All maintenance, diagnostics and repairs are down to you then.

You have to accept responsibility for your actions ;)

ofcourse! I told him to start a thread here before returning to me for a fix. This isn't the first time he's thought there were problems!

Besides, I did tell him it's his responsibility but i'll help when needed.

Everyone I build a PC for (free of charge with my old parts) seems to think they have a lifetime parts and labour guarantee.
 
I get an error saying
"USB Device over Current Status Detected !!
System will shut down after 15 seconds"
and it asks me to go into bios but when I turn the PC on the DEL key doesn't go to bios :/

EDIT: Turns out I forgot to replace the usb cables from the front to my controller card :P

Is the cyborg turning on? Try any other k/b u have

Type up a very brief contract stating that you aren't obliged to help and make them sign it. You can still offer help, but at your discretion. Or just say no. :p

LOL
 
I could try a reinstall but that would lose all my data and on my slow internet that is unbelievably boring waiting for my games to download from steam. My 40gb/month data cap doesn't really help either :/

I think I have to do a reinstall
 
stop bitching about it and upgrade



*claps extremely sarcastically*

It's not my choice about the internet.

Windows says "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0/1 Partition 1/2" and I can't format the disks :/

EDIT: 'Show details' says "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks."

EDIT: Another site suggested going into the BIOS and changing the disc from EFI to a normal CD/DVD icon

Do a manual format. Take the HDD out, and gently thwack it with hammer until windows recognises it as a formatted drive. This normally sorts it out ;)

In all honesty, I have no idea how to format like this so i'll wait for someone to give you decent advice.

Make sure it isn't in AHCI in he BIOS
