Procs/Mobo-- Scary part 4 me

EquiNOX · 05-09-2008, 02:52 PM

Hmm.. Hope this is correct place to ask if not, hope mods can place it at correct group.

Two years ago -- after purchased Motherboard, Processor, PSU, Memory and all of the stuffs, build them.. I never got my system to run.
I anaylized problem by replacing mobo,memory, PSU and etc except for processor from place where I purchased. Yet Never got system to run. Which means there were never anything dispaying on monitor screen. and I was told it was the processor that might be bad and I never continued to solve problem due to my budget issue (Willing not spend more money on new stuffs)

Now few weeks ago.. I am in that same stage again, bought all stuffs again and I realize I just faced fear.. I am afraid to place processor on mobo, I am afraid facing similar problem that I have experienced past two years ago...

I do not want to take it to some techs, their prices is silly and outrageous.. Also, I want to be able to build my skill and experence for future benefit..

Are/Is there any suggestion that you could share so I can overcome my fear and have faith that I can get system to run?

Let me know

Thank you linderman....

I ll have a look at it whenever I am ready to put system up... Another question...I live in an apartment and it as carpet everywhere... except kitchen and bathroom. Now due to ESD concerns, would this affect ESD and kill motherboard even if I have wrist strap on?
