BTW I've already reset the CMOS.

When I click F1 to enter setup, it has DVD RW on SATA1 listed, and the hard drive on SATA 2 listed, so why did it say "no any drive found"?

I've finished my build, but when I boot it up, it first says, "Detect drives done, no any drive found". Why? I have the hard disk connected by SATA connector and the CD/DVD drive connected by SATA connector, and both are connected to the power supply. Then another screen comes up and says...

The case was open, there are two sounds, the first came from the middle or maybe even off the MB and it sounded like dust particles or something. The second one was near the power pins, and sounded more like electricity crackling. TBH I am nervous about starting it again maybe it could damage?

I am concerned about a crackling sound that appears to be coming from the motherboard when I put it on. What could this be?

OK I was not on this forum for a while and I missed your post but since then I have put my motherboard back in the case and connected everything, althouhg the monitor is downstairs so I can't install the system yet.

I got stuff running on the screen now. Turns out I did not see the slot in the graphics card which you put the PSU connector into. Now to put it back in the case and sort out the fan problems in the case.

I sent a question to tech support. The motherboard is a P5K, and yes I did post that on this thread before.

OMFG I spent so long at this, the entire day and it has been a few weeks since I got the motherboard I don't know if I can get a refund. I won't sleep until I get it running. Theres so much stuff on my bed built up from working today that I can't sleep anyway. God I want it to run already. I...

Yes the fan is spinning. And yes, I hooked the 3 pin connector to the correct slot on the motherboard.

When I had it in my case, I used the standoffs, and when I tried to start it when it was in the case, the case fans started for a few seconds, and I heard the same sound from the Motherboard, but since I took it out onto the box I'm not using the stand-offs.

They were always unhooked, all I've had since I put it in the box, was memory, graphics card, CPU and the connection to the PSU, which is fine.

The CPU has a heatsink/fan on it. The noise is coming from either the motherboard or the CPU. The motherboard manual says there beep codes, all of them involve either one short beep or one long beep followed by 1+ short beeps then a pause then repeated. Nothing about one long beep. I have no...

TBH I actually don't know anyone who could watch over etc. Does he mean to unhook the memory and CPU too? Because he didn't mention them.

Wait, I just got it. Everything was fine except the PSU was not plugged in properly. The green light next to the power pins was lit up. So I connected the two pins with a screwdriver, and a really loud whining squeeling sound came, the fan began to run, and in fear I let go and turned offf the...
