New computer build won't boot.?
First thing, are the 2 6pin PCI-E connectors attached to the video card? If they are, are both sticks of ram in the same color slot, should both be in the blue slots. Unplug and remove the data cables for other items, harddrive, opticals etc. Just the CPU, GPU, single stick of ram and HSF. Does the machine turn on and post? If it does or doesn't, power down, and remove the single ram module and replace it with the other. Power on, does it post? If it wont post you have faulty ram, RMA it. If so, power down and install both in blue, If you get no post with the bare minimum installed, and it wont work with either piece of ram installed, it could be a video card issue, or it could be the processor. Is your processor supported by that board? You did not list the CPU you had.
New computer build wont start?
Is the 4 pin power connector connected to the motherboard? Not connecting that is a common mistake, and will cause the computer to behave as your described. Basically everything is able to power up except the CPU, and without that the PC is pretty much useless. Or your PSU might not be powerful enough. What are the specs?
My newly built computer will not turn on?
Sounds like a power supply problem .

I'm 13 and want to build my own computer?
Okay first off I want to say please don''t judge me.. I'm 13 going on 14 and I own a laptop which is pretty crap but I am a gamer. Whenever I look up online on ''whats a good computer to get for gaming'' I always see people saying to build your own computer. I do realize that I'm not an Albert Einstein of technology but I know a little about things like RAM and stuff but I'm wondering, can I get the job done. Everyone always says '' Oh its easy '' But is it easy enough? Is it dangerous? My mom will probably be supervising me anyway if I did build my own computer. This computer is a crap and a waste of 700$. I can't even run minecraft smoothly without optifine so I really don't know how I would be able to run a big game like skyrim with this junk. Should I wait? Please don't judge me..
Do pre-built computers from newegg.com have bloatware?
I don't know if all do, but I did click on one PC they sell, and in the cons the reviewers are complaining about bloatware. So, yes, they do. It's not Newegg's bloatware though, it's the manufacturer's bloatware. So I imagine no matter what website you buy a new pre-built computer from, certain manufacturers will always include bloatware.
Can I connect my newly built pc to the internet without an ethernet cable or WIFI card?
1. a recently built computer has an ethernet port to which you can connect a 2 dollars cable to be connected to the router2. if you do not have wifi network adapter in your computer, you can buy a wifi usb adapter for a price of about 20 usd ( wifi usb - Google Search ). When you buy it check it is supported for the operating system you are using. You will then connect your computer to wifi access point.3. if your laptop connects to wifi and has a free ethernet network interface, and if your computer is close to your laptop, you could just do some reconfiguration, put a network cable between laptop and computer and have the laptop share the wifi connection to your pc thru the ethernet cable. Your computer will then access the internet thru the laptop.4. buy a 3g/4g usb internet dongle, with a sim card, and access the internet via a mobile operator service. (you need to pay the mobile access cost)5. connect your smartphone with usb cable and perform tethering for internet access. (your internet costs will be charged on your mobile phone contract, which should explicitly allow this use for some providers.)Easiest and more suitable solution for you is probably n. 2
Could I put my old 1 TB hard drive into my new PC build?
Sure! The hard drive can be used in your build. However Windows 10 won’t be activated. It detects hardware, and it will notice the difference between a custom pc and an OptiPlex. I would recommend an additional SSD to put in there along with the HDD. It makes a huge difference. I can’t stress an SSD enough. Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SV300S37A/120G-Newegg.comForIt will only cost $55. You can use the SSD for windows and essential programs, and the 1 TB HDD for other stuff.If you want to see an HDD and SSD compared watch this:Yeah… Definitely worth the extra $55. It’s not just boot up that will improve. Any files on the SSD will load significantly faster, and the pc will feel a lot less sluggish. Trust me, I've used both. I didn’t realize the importance of an SSD till I put one in my system.EDIT:DO NOT USE KINGUIN/any cheap windows suppliers!!! They are gray market keys. They are probably illegal, and are bought w/ stolen credit cards. Microsoft will deactivate the keys in a few months. Also if the drive is IDE as in john’s answer just get an IDE to SATA Adapter.Vantec IDE to SATA Converter - Model CB-IS100-Newegg.com
