My Computer is really startin to piss me off!

<< < (20/21) > >>

daywane:
I can get a start up disk with 95,98,and Me (yuck)
but I have never found on for XP
does XP have one? If I rember I will have to check for it at bootdisk.com

Bgnome:
XP usually boots from the cd.  but i believe you can still create a startup disc once it is installed.

D5A1AC:
" No i didnt, just the cpu, not the fan and heatsink, why, is this bad?"
 :o I know this is an old topic but how dumb can you be? could you have not have realised that if your cpu came with a hsf, it obviously needed it to function safely??? Even a computer noob would realise that it is necessary. I know nothing about cars but I know I wouldnt take out the radiator because I didnt like having to buy radiator fluid once every few years and I only took it down the the local mall...

If any computer newbies who have read this topic and became discouraged from making thier own pc, dont be! This guy made a really stupid mistake which most people wouldnt do.

Sorry, I know its an old topic and that was probably inappropriate but I had to say something.

Yeah, it was.  Bumping an old thread to insult someone is pretty stupid.  Any "internet n00b"  should know it lacks tact.

I'm glad you knew it was wrong though... and still did it....  ::)

Agreed, this one should have stayed put to bed.

I know what yytu means, but see my reply #76 above.

And then Exibar said:

--- Quote ---Only run with this hooked up:

CPU, (no fan or fan cable), RAM, Powersupply  How many beeps now?  If only one beep, add the vid card, and try and boot... keep doing this until you get more than one beep... when that happens, that's your bad part....

Now I would have known to leave the HSF connected (or at least reply back before I tried without it), but I've built a half dozen systems previously.

To use your example - If you took your car to the mechanic b/c it was running hot and he said "Something is overloading the engine, run it with everything disconnected", you MIGHT disconnect the radiator.

And this is not meant to make anyone feel bad about this.
