The Motherboard is OK

Earlier I could not get to boot the PC which I assembled from parts I purchased separately.

Today I went to Low Yat again to rectify what seems to the "motherboard problem".

When the technician went through the system, he found that the motherboard was incorrectly fixed to the metal casing.

"The metal part of the motherboard must not be touching the metal casing, if it does it will create a short-circuit."

Oh dear, that is what is lacking in the do-it-yourself without proper reading of instructions.

Now I have to set up the O/S, and before that to create the relevant partition for it.

But that is another problem. (alang bidara - 21/1/2006).
