darn Microsoft... 48 updates on first load ??? @#$% ! <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1819037">
When I had turned on my new computer last month I had a never ending update of service pack. So I installed service pack 2, then upgraded to 3 and ended it all. That was for xp pro. Works great now. Great pics of all the parts being assembled. I wish I had at least tried to assemble the computer myself. The Antec 900 case though needs some drilling for cables and I was not up for that. Passed off the job to the local guy who gives me breaks for all the business I do with him.
You have watched "The Secret" video one too many times? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=87467&highlight=secret Kidding aside, it is really easy to build your own computer. Even I can do it. ;-)
Here is the finished setup. Not the nice pics you have posted, but the finished work, loaded and great.
Looks mighty spiffy. Got any temperature readings for CPU, GPU, HD... ? (If you don't have a utility for that, try SIW.exe It's free.)
It only took 4 hours to install the OS, load the various drivers, updates... then... WTF !?! <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1820185">
You was fine before you start to update many drivers, time to start from scratch and update just your OS this time.
