Hi,
I've been browsing the the forums for a while and last week I decided to register and ask for some advice on a first build... I'd been inspired that it would be possible to achieve myself (with advice).
However, by Friday my account hadn't been validated by a mod.
Unfortunately, impatience got the better of me so I called sales to doublecheck some parts I was considering were compatable. I was then made an offer for Saturday delivery at no extra charge, so went ahead and placed the following order.
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (66I-01939)
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 "LGA775 Core 2" 2.50GHz (800FSB) - Retail
Abit IP35 Pro XE Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Gainward ATI Radeon HD 4650 512MB DDR2 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail (471846200-9702)
Samsung SpinPoint F1 640GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD642JJ)
OCZ ModXStream Pro 400w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Modular Power Supply
Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 X 2GB) DDR2 8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX8500D2K2/4G)
Coolermaster Elite 335 Case - Black (No PSU)
Samsung SH-S223F/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM
Total cost £460 approx
Having put everything together and upon start up, i've encountered a couple of problems...
The first one is the CPU fan.. it's making an all mighty racket.. doesn't sound healthy at all. sounds like a garden strimmer.
Also, I have CMOS checksum Error (see image).
I'm sorry, I'm no techie at all. Hopefully, this is something simple to solve.
What have I done wrong? Hope someone can help.
