Hi all,
I just built a new PC off of this forum's advice around a week ago but am having problems with downloads.
Anytime I want to download something it fails, then a second try fails, then a 3rd try it works. Or it starts and then stops at a certain point but a second try is successful. This has happened trying to load Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft Office, and trying to get Safari among other things....
I did have problems loading Windows 7 at the beginning but that finally went through, after some advice on a different forum told me to take away one of the RAM sticks. I tried repairing Windows and even did a fresh install after but these problems keep coming up.
It said there were 53 Windows updates to download. 45 worked and 8 failed. I went back again and tried the 8 updates that didn't work, this time 4 worked and the other 4 failed...
It's been very frustrating not knowing what the problem is. Could I have accidentally hooked it up wrong since this was my first build? Or is one of the components not working properly?
This is my setup:
MoBo: ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
PCU: AMD Athlon II X3 445 Rana 3.1GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Desktop Processor ADX445WFGMBOX
GPU: SAPPHIRE 100289L Radeon HD 5670 (Redwood) 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card w/ATI Eyefinity
RAM: WINTEC AMPX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 3AXH1333C9WS4GK
PSU: Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D Green 380W Continuous power ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
HD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
LG DVD Burner
Windows 7
Any thoughts or advice that could help me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
