fully build, but it wont boot my disk?

[derekclark1122]

All my parts arrived 2 days ago and now my comp is built. Every thing went some what smooth, had some minor problems, but i fixed them. my comp starts up fine and all the fans spin(i hate the heatsink/fan that the 6600 comes with fells like the motherboards going to brake when u put it in) it comes up with my p5b deluxe first then it ask me to restart and select a boot devices so i did my lite-on dvd cd burner came up so i selected it, but it wont boot it. It cant seem to read the disk or something else is wrong. mybe my cables are hooked up wrong or im messing something dont think so. Mybe its just the disk, because i got it from a teacher he burnt it him self any. Any one have any ideas or suggestions?

lol built i meant.

Did you set the jumper on the drive to cable select?

Could be a bad disk.

Use a genuine CD. We can't support the use of burned copies.

Windows licenses (key codes) are to only be installed on 1 system unless you are using a Retail verison and that can be transferred to machine to machine. It would need uninstalled from the previous machine before installing on another.
If this key code you have is already being used on another system you cannot installed the O.S. using this same key code. This is illegal and you may also jepordize the other system it is installed on if you try to activate it on another install.

i cant even get to the point of entering the code. I just want to know how i can get it to boot. i think the disk doesnt work and its not installed on another one. Any one know how to get it working?

[Mr.Ferrari]

Your not gonna get much help without a genuine copy of windows.

[Khalil]

Here is a suggestion for ya. Get a free legit copy of a Linux OS like Ubuntu if you don't feel like paying for or can't afford a Microsoft Product. I am even willing to send you an original Ubuntu CD if you PM me your address.

[derekclark1122]

thanks khalil, i was think about find a free version i heard that comp usa give them out some im just going to get one from there, maybe.

[derekclark1122]

what should my proccesors temp be arround its runny at 76-89C is this realy hot usly its at 85C. im just in bios and it is up at 85 should i reinstall the heat sink any suggestions?

any suggestions for a new heat sink?

[doubledragon5]

That seems awful hot.. Try removing the heat sink and reinstalling it again...

[glc]

Your heatsink is not installed correctly. All 4 posts MUST snap fully into the motherboard holes, then be locked with a 1/4 turn. Do this with the motherboard OUT of the case so you can SEE the backside of the board.

[derekclark1122]

ok thanks ill try to do that. it dropped to 76c average i didnt do any thing to make it drop, but thats still realy high. can i just take the motherboard out with every thing still on it or should i take very thing off of it?

Should i get a new cpu cooler? any suggestions for one if so? i want to oc it some.

[glc]

You can leave the CPU and ram on the board - everything else has to come off it to get it out.

[derekclark1122]

ok good thats the way i did it. i took a look befor removing it only one was fully snaped in the other 3 where about half way in it took alot of pressure to get all 4 to stay in with out one snaping back out even with turn them and all, but it worked great. i was scared i broke my mother board. until it started up cpu is now usly 38C great. im still trying to get a disk if i cant then im going to buy vist 64 bit. thanks for all the help, glc thanks if i didnt do it out of the board i probly wouldnt have got all 4 in again.
