    Homebuilt computer problem.

    If you are asking if I forced the board into place, then I did not force anything; If It didn't fit, then I didn't force it into bending anywhere, and yes, I have been setting the system out of the case when I've been diagnosing it. If you're saying that I'm going to lie to them about the RMA, I...

    Well today, I booted it up to see if I missed anything, and it says: "reboot and select proper Boot Device" or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" Then it shuts off .-.

    Well, I ordered it from TD, so I'll give RMA a try in the future I did try the clip method, and it did kick on. I dunno. We don't have the battery, or spare computer parts ;\

    Oh, I can hit a key and go to a different menu, it still shuts off ;-; So, as the saying goes, I'm screwed? Because its been more then 30 days since the person who purchased this for me as a gift ordered it.

    Homebuilt computer problem.

    Well, during the time that I posted this and waited for a response, I found another alternate thread for the PSU, and I confirmed the psu worked. I found my original problem to be rooted in the fact that I forgot spacers when I initially screwed the Motherboard in, and the motherboards built in...

    Windows: Linux Can't Touch This

    My Wireless chipset is a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN... I really can't find anymore detailed info than that. I blame it on my lack of sleep. However, I think the problem with Linux is just that; I really haven't seen any machines built purely for Linux that are mass marketed and sold(Though, I...
