Good Day :-(

Well guess what? That PC I'd rebuilt didn't hold it's weight, the thing basically will not boot now except to BIOS, it tells me "A disk read error occured". Now I've tried to work with the original components from my 1st system and only upgrade those I thought were faulty, however this proves to be just daunting. Whatever is wrong this thing doesn't restart normally, it has proven completely un-reliable. I've gotta tell ya I'm a little pissed right now and I've had just about enough, I have decided it's not worth trying to buy a new HD and see if the error is related to that or the mobo, so I give up. Much like my giving up on finding a female for mating purposes I give up on my PC.

I did everything right, it should've been perfect the first build I did in the middle of the year, but for whatever reason (bad luck) or just poor handeling this thing has chosen to occur now.

I did clear the CMOS, I tried unplugging every single thing except the HD, the thing just refuses to boot. I cannot waste more energy or thought on this, so I'm essentially without a PC, most likely till next year.

Just so you know this is ridiculious, the HD passed all the checks I ran when the thing still ran properly, the entire thing was rebuilt, I'm guessing something from my old rig was faulty and just gave out. But even then the RAM passed validation too, your guess is as good as mine.

I have to pay off debts owed to my creditor, then prepare for my insurance payment, car payment. It may be awhile before anyone here sees me again.

Good bye :(

That sucks man. If you can, use a public computer every so often so we know you're alive.

This may increase your chances for acquiring a female for mating purposes.

If you do popup to check on this, for F-Sake don't "Scrap the Caddie, Clyde". Either try to deal with it or sell it. Either way you get something out of it, other than just a rampage of silicon destruction.

Incidentally perhaps you would be better off selling it and picking up some cheap second hand computers. They are the best tool to learn how to debug with rather than just trying to build a top notch tower from scratch (as well as being cost effective)

Don't give up on your build. Your problem is not that difficult to solve. As shown in your other thread: http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=87765.

Why did you even start a different thread for this? To say goodbye because you have one minor problem with your PC that you are blowing way out of proportion? I had the exact same problem with my build a few years ago. It was so bad, I had to take it in to the computer shop to get checked in which they told me it was a video card problem. Well it wasn't, and I figured it out. Your problem is likely the same thing.

The only problem I wasn't able to solve was my mom's harddrive problem. I couldn't get access to the hard drive even when I slaved it into another computer.
