Yep, no drivers installed.

Have you reached a screen yet which gives you a choice of install?

Or have you ploughed on with install (not a problem if you have - as long as SSD is only hooked up)?

Its installed, its just doing an update. It detected the wireless card and connected to the internet, i downloaded that screen saver to what the screen look like.

Looks like you let windows install drivers etc - rather than opting for critical updates only - not a problem?

I would let windows update - may take a while - and then install the latest GPU drivers and chipset.

We ideally need to run some stress tests and check temps etc but i need to get to bed soon.

No worries mate, we can call it a night and i will leave it updating.

Are you about tomorrow?
 
Plec said:
Temps are fine.

We'll work through the check list tomorrow. Let it update - odd are Windows will add all the drivers as you've selected recommended updates (not a problem).

We'll activate your other HDD - and get you fully operational tomorrow - maybe around about 10'ish depending on calls.

Sounds like a plan, thanks for your help today mate, speak to you tomorrow!

Glad to see it up and running @leeince with awesome assistance from @Plec

I took the opportunity for sleep when the kids went down..... As you can see one is now up ! ....

Some reason on fresh install of Windows, never auto installs other disk drive ... But when you do , get a lot of options how you want it .

Once it's updated to Windows Fall ... Create a restore point. You have to manually enter this into the search bar !!!! Pain but really useful

Build is looking good , down the line a nice CPU cooler to really push and learn some over clocking :D

Cable management is an as art form. You'll find you can hid. Lot of cables if they were routed from behind the Mobo before it was installed like SATA, usb and Mobo connections .

Can spare cables just zip tie them in a small tight bunch behind the Mobo tray :)

Morning Mate,

Kids had you up early mate.;) My Kids are 6 and 12, I have more grief getting them out bed!! My 6 year old boy is murder on a Monday morning, I dread to think what hes going to be like when he gets older.;)

I will create a restore point now, top man, I didn't think of that!

Cable Management will probably be something I look at when im bored and feel like having a tinker! Now I know where everything goes and feel a bit more confident I can do a much better job running the cables!

@Plec has given me a list of things we still need to do, the pair of you have been awesome throughout this process, I couldn't have done it without the pair of you!! Hopefully I will have everything running and set up by the time the kids get home from School.

Im just removing the old PC from the desk and getting the new set up in the correct area and unboxing the rift.

Plec said he should be around about 10am, if for any reason he cant make it and youre around and dont mind helping me go through that list I would appreciate it.

Chat soon,

Lee

no worries, list seems solid - gigabytes app centre is pretty good. sometimes i just install that and it finds and downloads and updates all of its apps haha

27 months and 7 months mine are - both teething - miss sleep!

son knows where PSU goes and that certain buttons change colours and Ducky keyboards so amazing light effects he can dance to
