    SHE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now I don't know how to set this thing up.
    It actually came with two adaptors in the box, and I found them when unboxing and had no idea what they were, and forgot all about them.


    Anyone wanna walk me through setup... :D

    :cool: And everyone was telling you to eat your hat and go buy another PSU.

    What do you mean by "set this thing up"? Plop that Windows CD in and install it! I'd spend half an hour in the BIOS fudging with everything to make it mine, but at this point I think you're better off installing Windows first. Learn about playing with BIOS later.

    And,
    :worthless:

    Bios. THe very first thing when starting up asked me to run setup or something else. I did setup. Now its asking me this. Windows is on a flash drive and I havent even inserted it yet. I have to get to the bios and change the boot priority to the usb 3.0 in back somehow...

    Standard. Choose the power-hungry version of pretty much everything. I presume you want to slay monsters in game, not cuddle polar bears.

    Set the usb key to boot first, or there should be a hot key when you boot it up like ESC that will let you choose it manually.

    It won't default to anything that doesn't exist. If you have no external hard drive connected it wont use it (duhh), so just throw all the USB stuff up top and reboot to your USB Key.

    Read the freakin manual hahaha

    You can leave the HDD to boot first and just hit ESC or something similar while it boots to choose what to boot from. Saves you from jumping into the BIOS all the time and changing the settings.

    Did you partition and format your hard drive? Take pics of the steps you're in. It's easier for us to help you this way.
