HELP! My first build

My bro recently built a new pc i got him for his birthday, 4 months ago! All parts bought from OcUK.

He had no internet connection. Eventually told me.

When i looked the network connection was 2mm away from the tin back plate. The plug wasn't actually making a connection, was floating.

Lot's of reasons why you can't connect to the net with a new build!
 
if you get stuck post and many will try and help and offer good advice just dont be put off by little mistakes we have all done somthing strange at one point
 
Agree very much with ukxenon, i have had things go Fizzzt and start to emit smoke, but i think the OP won't be back online until tomorrow evening at the earliest, so i'll say good night :p
 
Hi all, got a day off today so been playing about with it this afternoon.
Managed to download all drivers onto my macbook and usb them. Plugging it into my new build as we speak, so fingers crossed and ill let you all know the outcome.

Thank you all ever so much for all your help and expertise :)

I wouldn't of been able to do it without you all!! I am truly greatful.
 
So on the ethernet driver i have a message saying..

"The Realtek Network Controller was not found. If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled. Please Plug the Cable."

Any idea? Everything else installed fine.

Do you have the correct driver for your OS?

Go to device manager and click on the network controller. Update the driver manually.

Is the ethernet enabled in the bios?
 
Thanks for the response. The redownloaded the driver from Realtek's direct website and it worked :)

ALL UP AND RUNNING!!! TYPING THIS FROM MY NEW SET UP!!

Thanks all once again. I am so pleased with it, its super fast!!
