first build questions
Hello,
I have recently build up my computer and everything seems to working. Just install my window XP and i would think it was a success. The question i have now is that so far i turn on my computer twice and when both times i turn off my computer i realize that the keyboard light over the NUM lock is still on. This keyboard I am using now is the one i got from dell. When i was using this for dell the keyboard light usually turn off with the computer but i was wondering why this is happenning now. Also for the motherboard i am using which is http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowIm...oard+%2D+Retai the problem i have is that i cant put the ethernet cable into it. For some reason the backplate the metal plate given from asus is having this metal piece that wont go in and i can put the ethernet cable to it. anyone know the solution? l THX Last edited by homi1ife; 08-25-2006 at 12:49 PM. |

The keyboard num lock light being on is normal... some motherboards do this, some do not. It's nothing to worry about.
As for your backplate, the solution is to either get the correct backplate, modify the existing one, or leave the backplate off. I prefer not to do the latter.

Just bend that metal prong slightly so that you have enough clearance to fit the board to the backplate.

The first one is a generic screen that could mean a lot of different things.
Cant make out what the second one says from the pic you posted. Could you type it out in a post.

What are the complete system specs for this computer? List the parts by brand and model including the power supply.
You might want to test your RAM with Memtest86+. And if you're using a BETA video driver for your video card you might want to uninstall it and install WHQL certified drivers instead.  Cricket
