Gilmore 1st MRB

For real! Thank you so much for your help along with Shank, Marsden, and Candy I really, really appreciate it!

WOOOOOOOOO FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fans were installed correctly. After installing the fans I checked to make sure that they would turn on, after they did I made the mistake of shutting off the computer. It was a mistake because it was apparently downloading some drivers/windows update. I nuked my hard drive. So I reinstalled windows and am now typing from a more or less %100 brand new computer!!!!

Here's a picture and vid maybe it makes more sense? Idk, I just took the whole thing apart and relaunched it both ways, with all 3 fans and with just original fan. Still same outcome. My mom is going to come over Sunday and take a look. Part of me feels like I might have to send back the power supply and get a 7-800W (overkill) rather than 550w.

I pulled and reseated the video card as well as some of the other cables. No luck. It does not boot with the fans removed either. It just does the same thing: all the lights come on, get 1 short beep, and the BIOS Gigabyte load screen, then nothing.

Short beep and it doesn't repeat. It is the normal one like you first get when the computer runs properly.

Well... might as well re-hijack my own thread. I installed two case fans using the molex cables. They both run, all the lights turn on, get a single BIOS beep. All good... or so I thought. It will not progress past the Gigabyte BIOS page to windows. It just stays there with a single "_" blinking in the top left corner. Kind of freaking out, I checked the cables and they all seem to be plugged in so I don't think I knocked anything out. Even when I only run 1 fan at a time or just the original fan that was built into the case it won't progress.

So excited between 3:13-3:16

I just got the cable I needed. Now I just need to a walkthrough of Vent again so I can log in to my vent account.

That's my little man you goat

Yeah I didn't plan to OC until I had a premium liquid cooler

I am picking up another 2 case fans this weekend and liquid cooling was out of the budget at the time. I also really like the Noctua fan.

Everything was checked on PCPartPicker as well as using some suggestions from Marsden and Reddit. It does not draw a lot of power and the PC is only on for gaming. Otherwise it gets completely shut down.

It is a Gigabyte Z270-P. I think I am going to either grab a splitter tomorrow or a new headset just for the desktop that is USB based.

So here is the whole set-up. Had to do some extra buying for it and added a 2tb HDD to the above build. Also did not take a lot of pictures as I was building it with my mom. Kitchen set up until it moves down stairs to the office. Bun-Tax

i think I may have found the issue... maybe: This will not update nor can Microsoft find the drivers to support it. PCI Simple Communications Controller PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A2BA&SUBSYS_1C3A1458&REV_00 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A2BA&SUBSYS_1C3A1458 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A2BA&CC_078000 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A2BA&CC_0780

Name: Ron Gilmore Rank: MSgt. Type of issue: Hardware Brief Description of Issue: Hey all! I have successfully built the new computer and I have run into a couple of errors trying to make Vent work properly. I figured out how to get my headphones to work finally in Vent but I can not get the Mic to work at all. I am getting a couple error messages when I try some of the online fixes. I don't know if I can transmit at all through my mic. "Can not transmit because the program has not successfully openned a sound input device such as a desktop or headset based microphone. Please check your hardware configuration and any reported errors during connection." "Failed to open sound input device. rc=-1, Open input wave device failed." "Unable to activate DirectSound for selected device. DirectSoundCaptureCreate failed. HR=DSERR_NODRIVER. No sound driver is available for use" Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also being able to log into my old Vent account would be good too. No idea how to do that. ***Medical Supply Staff ONLY Below this line*** Current Status: Resolved Main Technician: Capt.

I enjoy playing canals much more than D2. I can not stand d1-2 at all anymore.

I have it on xbox1 DasHammerstein there!

Awesome set up can't wait to see pictures of the build!

This is fantastic news! I know things were rough for a while there. I am glad things have picked up.

I'm worth at least $15 I don't wear a hat but I can sound like Cartman if that's to your taste.

Yeah I totally forgot to pick up 1tb, the WD that's on sale for like $49 right now. Thanks for the heads up! And Emily loves you guys! She thinks that she should start a support group for all of our significant others.
