Hello there, I'd like to say thank you to anyone and everyone ahead of time for any insight, advice, or even the solution to my issue(s) to be exposed in this thread. And I am new here, but you guys seem to be helpful from threads I've read.
And now to the problem.
It all started hoping to learn a thing or two about computer hardware and, from that, to learn more about software as well. So, I decided to build a computer that would get the job done in terms of gaming and maybe minor music mixing (I'm a musician too btw), but without being to expensive, so I recycled some parts from my old, old 2002 gateway desktop, so I was keeping the 250GB hard drive, the CD driver and power supply (originally was to keep the case also, but got wrong motherboard
). And here is a list of what I bought as a result:
ASUS Radeon HD 7750 1GB
2 x 4GB Kingston Hyper X RAM
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz Black Edition CPU
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
So I hook up everything, she kicks, but restarts at Windows Vista boot, so I figured...PSU. So I swap the 300W for an Antec 450W. Same thing.
Now I'm confused, so I desperately use my laptop to get a Linux Ubuntu OS on my external (I was intending to do this with a second HDD soon anyway). My assumption was maybe it's my Hard Drive or the OS or something.
I get to the screen for Linux to either install on Hard Drive or Run off USB, either way, same thing happens.
I have seen this community help out many people, so I'm hoping I can be one of those people.
Thanks again for any replies.
