   I think I %$^&ed up my brother's computer.
  He bought a bunch of parts and asked me to put them together, and I agreed. I don''t have a whole lot of experience with this sort of thing, but he said he''d rather I take my chances with it then he pay someone $60/hr to do it.Today I threw the whole thing together, turned it on, and nothing. Zip!Well, when I plug it in, the green LED on the motherboard lights up. However when I hit the power switch, it''s just dead as a doornail. It didn''t even budge for a split second. No noises, noflashes. Just nothing. It''s as if the power switch wasn''t even connected (which it was).On my way to work I realized that I forgot to set the motherboard jumpers. The CPU has a 266 MHz FSB and god knows what the motherboard is set at right now.I wonder what I managed to fry... 
  youre fucked ;  Come to think of it, the MoBo is set to 133 by default.%$&*!! ;  I don''t think motherboards are as fragile as that!Sometimes, I forget things too. power cable, ide cable, harddrive master/slave jumper settings, but I never fried a computer before. ;  I hope not. I''ve never had the pleasure of finding out what happens in these situations. I will have to wait another 9 hours to find out. ;  I''d be more affraid if you heard something and then   it went silent.  If you fried something there would probably be noise for a second, or maybe some smoke (which happens if you put RAM in backwards in my experience) ;  Test the parts, maybe he just bought a faulty part. ;  I wouldn''t know where to begin. ;  Do you have another PC?I very much doubt you fried his machine, it sounds like either a bad assembly or a faulty part.Here, before you test the parts, walk through the steps and make sure you did it right. ;quote:Original post by Utwo  I wouldn''t know where to begin.   Then you shouldn''t have been poking around in there in the first place, foo''.
