How To Make a Computer

First thing first is necessary to get the motherboard. The motherboard can be a new one or second hand from a source like ebay. Every  motherboard is  fixed  to the case with a few screws so a screw driver is necessary also. All motherboards have screws in the same place so what matters is the size of the motherboard. Usually big motherboard do not fit in mini ATX cases.

Second step is to get the case. There are so many cases  styles awailable that it should suid everybodys taste.

Depending on the motherboards type now we chose CPU. It is not hard to chose from because in the market dominates two players so depending on the motherboard it will be Intel or AMD. For games recommended to chose AMD. And for everything else Intel.

In case the CPU is chosen then the motherboard  needs to be chosen for that CPU.
Motherboards are manufactured different for each CPU.
Also differs and the CPU by the connetro type. Both the motherboard and the CPU must havethe same CPU slot type say LGA 775.

After the CPU and motherboard are in our possession the next step is to get some RAM. Memory differs in type. Latest now is DDR3. The oldr ones DDR2 and DDR1 are obsolete. They also are not compatible so better is to buy the right one. But this should’t be a problem as sellers always will tell what type RAM it is.

After we have all components mentioned abowe lets start  to build. The motherboard fits in the case and is screwed with a few screws. Sometimes we  need to screw in a few crews that motherboard will sit on

But sometimes we don’t need to do this as the metal surface has special bumps that the motherboard will lie on.

Now let’s connect all the button and LED cables. Depending from the case there will be a few types of connectors. Sometimes they come as one big plug but usually they are separate plugs for each LED Power LED, HDD LED, RESET, POWER.

On the motherboard usually are markings that show where to connect each plug. Sometimes it is marked with letters sometimes is just a color . Black usually is for POWER Button.

When we connect them lets place the CPU and heatsink.

RAM also is necessary to boot for the first time. Without a RAM there will be no image on monitor. Now we need to connect VGA cable, mouse cable and keyboard cable and boot the computer for the first time.

Boot is normal

It shows that the bootable media not found as there is no hard drive installed.

Installing the hard drive. This computer part can be with SATA or  ATA interface. Now ATA is obsolete. It is fitted to the case with a four screws. To fit hard drive properly sometimes necessary to open both sides of the case.

Hard drive is connected to the motherboard with  caqbles and another cable is for power.

#Installing DVD drive. Also like hard drive it is fittedto the case with a four screws but screws are different

It is also connected to the motherboard with SATA cable and it gets  power from the power supply through power cable.

If the computer not starting check the memory. Sometimes memory modules ar faulty. But this is very rare.
Another cause that can stop from booting is the power supply. But sldo this is very rare as new power supplies are almost always good.
Of cource the third suspected component would be the motherboard. But never been seen that a new motherboard will not work. But this does not mean that it will never happen. Can occur physical damage or something like that.

When everything is connected and the installation should begin. The OS installation is very straight forward and it almost does mot need further explanation.
