Top 5 things to mess up on when Building a Computer

Tony |

Hey everyone welcome back to Da Normal Blog! In this blog, I’m going to talk about the top 5 things that a lot of people mess up on when building a computer.

 

  1. Wrong type of cpu socket

A lot of people order there full computer setup with all the things they need but they dont realize that there are diffrent sockets on cpus. Intel uses lga while AMD use “am”. For example the newest socket for Amd is Am4. For intel is lga 1200. When your are buying a motherboard make sure to match the right cpu with the right socket.

2.  Wrong type of ram

Another thing tha people do wrong is ordering the wrong kind of ram. There is ddr, ddr2, ddr3,ddr4, and soon coming ddr5. These are basically the socket type but a little bit more then that. So when you are buying a motherboard make sure it matches the motherboard ram type.

3. Instaling thermal paste on to a cpu

I have seen lots of people put thermal paste on to cpu’s wrong a lot. I have seen people do it under the cpu, on the socket and putting a huge amount of it on. What you are supposed to do is put a small dot of it on the middle of the cpu. Then put the cpu cooler on.

4. Wrong motherboard form factor

There have been people out there that dont realize that theres diffrent form factors of cases and motherboards, and have gotten incompatible cases or motherboards. There are many diffrent form factors of motherboards and case, such as. (Biggest) Hptx, ssi eeb, xl-atx, atx, e- atx, micro atx, mini itx, Nana itx, pico- itx. (smallest)  You must make sure that the type of motherboard will fit in the case.

 

5. Not having an os

 

I have made this mistake before when building a computer. I never got windows 10, and so I thought something was wrong with my 4tb hdd so I opend it up and screwed it. Make sure never to open up a hdd, and make sure to buy an os or the computer is usless to you.

How to fix Error code”BCD” or No Boot Device Detected on a Desktop

Tony |

Hey, guys welcome back to Da Normal blog today I’m going to help you fix A no boot device detected on a Desktop.

The first thing we are going to try is listing for a beep or clicking sound if you have a HDD. Go to your computer and turn it on, if possible take off the side panel and listen for beeps or clicks. It may be hard to hear so put your ear towards something that may look like that.

Normally it should sound smooth and hear something moving around inside. But if it does not then you have a broken HDD. You will either have to get a new one and get the os, but you will lose all your data. But if you don’t want to do that you could go to a computer shop and ask them to fix it for you.

The second thing we are going to try is for people with SSD or HDD. Sometimes the when you don’t shut down your computer correctly or there’s a sudden loss of power the computer gets corrupted by faulty os (windows, Mac, Linux) and makes it so it’s unbootable. What you have to do is buy a new os and install it on your computer. Note: it may or may not have your files on it.

The third thing we are gonna look at is the cords connecting to the HDD or SSD. These cords are called the SATA cord and SATA power cord. make sure each is plugged into the HDD all the way and the motherboard. Unplug them to look for burnt or missing pins. Somethings could go faulty over time and need to be replaced. If the SATA power cord is broken or faulty you will have to plug in another power cord or buy a new power supply.

Another thing that could be wrong is that the motherboard is faulty, broken, or has a virus on it. In that case, you will have to replace it or troubleshoot it.

The last few things that could be wrong, is that you have a virus on your computer that has corrupted your files and made them unbootable in that case you need to buy a new hdd or ssd  and you will have none of your files, or you can buy an anti-malware USB or disc to clean up your computer. You could also troubleshoot.

The last possible thing that could be wrong is that you did not set the bios to boot from the HDD or SSD. To change that you have to go to setup utility or the motherboard settings.
