bhdave Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Good Morning to All, Guess I will know soon enough if I am in the right section and if my signature is filled out properly. Yes, this is my first post, and yes, I have been lurking about this site, gathering up info and tips for the last couple of weeks. And then, on Friday I started putting all the pieces together, and hey, just wanted you to know it went well, matter of fact, it went very well!! My compliments and thanks to the moderators and folks who contribute to this site, trust me, I couldn't have done it without you!! This is not to say I don't have problems, good lord, I always have problems and I will be pestering you with them pesky problems soon enough, but hey, for right now, on the positive side; the machine posted on the 1st try. I was able to get into BIOS all of them pesky led's finally went out Window's including SP2 loaded perfectly popped the 2nd video card in place and got SLI to work, load bar included !!! Oh, and did I mention that I bought my 1st computer less than 5 years ago, that this is only my 2nd build, and, oh yeah, I am 63 years old. Yes children, even old duffers like me overclock and play video games!! Thanks again, and keep up the good work, all of you!! bhdave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Oh, and did I mention that I bought my 1st computer less than 5 years ago, that this is only my 2nd build, and, oh yeah, I am 63 years old. Congrats! Glad you got her up and running with no problems. The added wisdom and common sense over the years likely helped you get your computer working, its the 'pros' that have most of the problems, I suspect. In any case, welcome (officially) to the 'street! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
