First 5 Things to Do with a New PC Build

[@TheBobjenks]

My pc won't boot from the USB. When pressing F11, I can see uefi: usb and usb:usb ... If I select usb:usb it says "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot media"... The uefi option does nothing...HELP!!!

[@knightnics]

Robert Jenkinson i think there id different kinds of bios so maybe f11 is not the case

[@TheBobjenks]

knightnics I created the installer from Mac and I think it is in Mac format. Creating a new one in EXFAT now... Hope it works!

Building your own computer is not just something to do to save money, but it is also an experience. It sounds weird when I say it, but it somehow connects you to your computer in a good way. You ordered the parts, you put them in, you did the cable management and in the end you look proudly at your work. My Ryzen system stands on my desk with a window on its side and from time to time I just enjoy looking at it.

[@elle-iza]

Right? I totally didn't expect that, and had like 5 "how to troubleshoot your new PC build" videos on hand. And then it just worked. q(^-^q)

[@geraldeh7291]

That would be a rush. My first home build computer was a 386. I've built about a dozen of them over time and usually screw something up in a Homer Simpson moment "DOH!". The key is to never panic, have a second computer connected to the internet for help, and if all else fails walk away to break out of your endless loop thinking. Attack it later with a fresh perspective. One of my first rookie mistakes was a small switch on the power supply that was set to 220 instead of 110 volts. I couldn't figure out why the damn thing didn't turn on. lmao

[@Michaelh217]

This was released a year after my first build. Wish I could have traveled to the future and asked my future self how I did it or watched this video. I actually learned a few new things by watching this. Cool stuff.

[@thebrokenglasskids5196]

Point of advice to all that was not mentioned in the video: When booting from USB to install Windows, DO NOT put your flash drive in a USB 3.0 slot or you'll get the Windows Installer asking you for a driver and not being able to proceed with the install. The reason for this, is that you have not installed your USB 3.0 drivers yet needed by your board for them to function properly! So, to be on the safe side, make sure to do your initial install from a 2.0 port. Hope that saves someone frustration and a headache. =)

[@madhound3477]

Marshmallow M80 how long did it take you to build? I almost have all the parts for my pc build and was just wondering.

[@marc4008]

I had some problems with my ram and cpu cooler, and I was going super slow to not screw it up since I'm clumsy. It was like 9 hours maybe? Including installing windows and drivers. In reality, you should be able to get it done in like 3-4

[@madhound3477]

Marshmallow M80 alright thanks. Thats what I'm afraid of, that my stuff isn't gonna work but hopefully it all goes decently well.

[@marc4008]

Well it worked, it was just that I didn't seat the ram correctly. If you have any problems, that's the first place to start. Also, the 212 evo is just a pain to install on your own. I just replaced it with a h110i gtx and that was much easier to install, so it just depends on what you get. If you have someone to help with your cooler, it's a lot easier.

Hi Paul, usb3 I do not recomended, because when Windows 10 creates the flash install drive eliminates format of usb 3 and then after you want to use, system doesn't recognice as USB 3, not even usb 2 in USB 3 ports and has to be formated at low level, and sometimes still not function at USB 3 velocities.

20:00 DON'T do this. If you do this, you still didn't change the boot order. So if your friend or customer will insert a flash drive later and reboot their PC, it will try to boot from that USB, obviously failing. I had hundreds of problems because of this.

@@dug1963 you would need a bootable USB, watch a video how to install windows 10 using bootable usb. Basically, since your SSD is empty currently, you download windows 10 on the usb and boot from there, when you get into windows then you can transfer the files to the SSD an use the SSD. Hope this helps Oh and yes I forgot to answer the original question, get into the bios by clicking delete repeatedly, then Change the boot order so your usb is first, which will allow what I said above to happen :)

Lightning is a risk, there are two times when I've experienced this. A couple of years ago lightning struck nearby, it fried our phones. Last year, a similar thing happened, fried the router. It might not be a big risk, but it can happen. However, I've heard that the surge protection doesn't do much in such cases for some reason.

[@michaelposmyk1831]

Zed1967 Wouldn’t I just be fine connecting my pc to an outlet that’s in my wall? And also another quick question. I lived in the US but moved to Europe to go to college and I purchased my power supply in the US because it was cheaper. Would I be fine by just connecting the US plug into a connector that transforms from a US outlet into a European outlet? The max wattage on the one I have is about 3000 Watts. I haven’t used it yet I’m building my pc pretty soon. I also purchased just a random European power supply cable on eBay for a few bucks but I’m not sure if that would be 100 percent safe either compared to the power cable that came with my Corsair power supply. Sorry if it’s a lot I just need the question answered. Thank you.

[@thenerdycanadian7172]

have you tried Wine or something similar? i heard it works for a decent amount of windows games but never took the time to personally attempt it

[@Tuchulu]

I did a long time ago, back in the days of WoW Burning Crusade it ran better under Linux than under Windows (I had low ram, and Windows would just suck it, like a lady of negotiable affection suffering discontinuation syndrome from crack cocaine)

[@jrsmithunited]

Wine doesnt work for everything. What it does work for isn't always stable. And when it is, it almost always has lower performance than on native windows. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough install base for people to support linux properly, either through wine or through native support.

[@neek1534]

That's the sad part. You have to use Windows for games.

[@Mike_Hogsheart]

I mean, you don't HAVE to use Windows to game, there are tons of games with native Linux versions, a lot of games that work just fine with wine and all the emulators you could ask for. Especially for older games there is a good chance that they will run better under Linux than they do under newer versions of Windows. For my gaming needs, Linux is totally fine. Like, I have a ton of games in my Library with native Linux support that I have never touched, because I just don't have the time to play all of them. That said, if you are the kind of gamer who is all about the newest AAA gaming titles, you probably want to have a Windows installation. Although it is totally possible for that Windows installation to run as a guest virtual machine on a Linux host, with hardware pass through. That way you can just run Windows alongside Linux without having to dual boot and with pretty much no loss in performance. Do all your browsing and everyday computing in Linux, fire up Windows when you feel like gaming (or keep it running in the background), best of both worlds. Does require some extra attention when purchasing hardware though (has to support virtualization) and you are going some Linux wizardry to pull it off, it's definitely not beginner friendly. But it can be done.

[@thegeneral123]

The first thing I learnt after building my updated PC last year was as follows. Test your brand new EVGA G2 1000w PSU outside of the case with the bridge connector. Or any PSU. Because the PSU blew on first switch on and took out an SSD in the system. I was very lucky not to have more damage. It tooks weeks to get it RMA'd and was not especially cheap to return. I bought the PSU because my EVGA 980Ti came with a 50% off deal on a PSU. So I went overboard and bought a much higher spec PSU than I had ever before. And it failed.

[@mr.tomatohead5648]

damn that's crazy, but yeah everyone should breadboard before installing in case.

[@thegeneral123]

Pretty much the worst thing was it was the first PC I had built in about 8 years. Going from a 775 based system to an X99. So, while a lot was familiar, a lot had changed. Complete rebuild with Predator 360 cooler (which had to be replaced as I had the V1.0) etc etc. Spent a good afternoon building it all into the Enthoo Primo case, tying everything off and making it tidy. Put it in place, had my face at the back of the case when I flipped the psu switch. It flashed in my face. Blew the fuse in the plug and tripped my mains fuse box. The smell of burnt electronics filled my room. I just sat down in a daze for about 30 seconds. I had no compatible parts to test and I was not about to risk the working 700w psu from the old PC. In case it was a different component that failed. I have to totally dismantle the PC and return the parts I bought from the retailer in person. To be checked. Luckily none of those parts were faulty. Only an SSD that was carried over from the old system. It worked fine previously. Realising it was the PSU and all the new parts otherwise had been tested as working. I bought an EVGA EQ 650W cheap PSU as a run till RMA. At the store. Built it when home and it all worked. RMA the G2 and it was replaced. Annoyingly, when I had the G2 back, I found out that the cables with the EQ and G series are not compatible. So I had to redo all the modular cables. Then in the timeline I had the recall notice about the EKWB 360 Pred... Then to make matters worse, I bought a couple of Sandisk 480 Ultra 2 SSDs and they failed 5 months later completely. Within a week of each other. Seems there was a faulty batch. I've had some very very bad luck with PCs this last year.

[@mr.tomatohead5648]

yikes! that's a nightmare story. I've done 4 builds and thank God I've never had a problem.

[@buggld]

Is it bad that I've done some learning about tech stuff and ordered all my parts for my first build, but don't know what a bridge connector is...?

[@mr.tomatohead5648]

nah, a lot of people don't test their hardware before installing it, but this guy's story is a good example why you should. the bridge connection he's referring to is a connection bridging the green wire to a black wire on your 24pin connection of your psu. that will jump start your psu and get the fan to spin. I also like hooking up a case fan or lights to the psu to make sure they come on.

[@frankies.4500]

I tried to use the Windows media creation tool but it wouldn't recognize my USB. Luckily a friend of mine had an ISO image of Windows 10 on his PC and used Rufus to put it on a USB for me. He said it happens a lot with Windows 10. (He works in IT for a major media group.) When I put it in my PC it booted right off the USB without me doing anything. (Gigabyte Z97x Gaming 7) Just wanted to share that in case anyone is having that problem with the download tool too.

[@paulshardware]

I nearly used Rufus for this video but decided to stick with the default tool, Rufus is a great piece of software

Can i use ethernet for the internet access ? (i'm new to this, pls go easy on me )

[@CertifiedSunset]

Yes, Ethernet is just a solid connection between the router and the PC while some people like me use wireless WiFi which ATM is slower than Ethernet but more convinient. But yes you are good.

[@moonburst9434]

Crippling Depression Eh my windows 10 don't have wifi built in. what should i do? It only have ethernet option. i need wifi. already have a WiFi modem here FYi

[@Speed_7545]

moon burst u need to buy a wireless card, preferably one u put into the pci express slot. It has Wifi built in etc. There are differemt options, make sure the one u decide on is supported for win 10, just go to manufacturers page and look for drivers..

[@frankenberry9670]

Windows comes with networking support however it tries to automatically configure itself to the hardware that it "sees". If it doesn't detect the hardware then it won't configure it. It may also detect the hardware but not have the driver. The video demonstrates what to do when that happens. Some PCs have WiFi built in, most have an RJ45 jack as well. RJ45 is like a big telephone ( RJ11) jack and is used for wired Ethernet connections. WiFi ( a.k.a. Wireless Fidelity) is for wireless connections. Wired is typically faster while WiFi is "easier" for the technically challenged among us. If your PC doesn't have built in WiFi then you can either get a WiFi card, open up the box and insert it or you can get a USB WiFi stick and plug it into a USB port. Either way Windows 10 should then hopefully configure itself. If it needs a driver then you need to download it from the manufacturer's web site, put it on a memory stick and then install it, much like what was demonstrated in the video.

[@marshidden4352]

I built my first pc not that long ago... it took me a month of paranoid planning and researching compatibility to buy the components, and a week after that to finish building it. It took so long because I didn’t really know what I was doing, so I simultaneously watched tutorials on how to put the components in while doing it in my computer. I was so worried when putting the CPU cooler in, because no matter how hard I tried, the screws wouldn’t grab onto the motherboard threads. I started pushing down on it desperately to try and get it screwed in, and about 30 minutes later I finally did. I was worried the rest of the building process that I had ruined my processor. I also has school, so I spent about an hour on my computer a day. Finally, when everything else was assembled, I pressed the power button and prayed it would turn on. It didn’t. Luckily, before I got a heart attack, I remembered I had forgotten to switch the PSU switch back to the “on” position. I tried again and it booted up. I don’t think I’ll ever forget how happy I felt. As many headaches as that experience gave me, I loved every second of it, and I can’t wait to do it again.

[@eustace2c2]

First 5 things to do with a new build. 1. Pray it posts. I mean really call upon what ever higher power you believe in that the silicon gods show you favor and the thing starts up. With all new components the odds are something could be bad out of the box and it can be a nightmare tracking it down on a new build. 2. Look at the Bios. Don't go crazy with the bios at first. Start with default settings as much as you can. There will be plenty of time later after you know everything is stable to OC and go crazy. 3. Install OS of choice. For most it will be Windows X or whatever latest version is at the time of build. Be sure to do all updates. 4 Install Anti virus of choice, and all drivers, especially video drivers. Flash Bios if there is an update. 5 Install software *Games and test the machine under load. Up to this point it's had it easy but now it's time to see how it does under some pressure. If you pass all 5 then you can go crazy.

Hello Paul an everyone else I just built my 1st pc an I having problems with creating the media tool, it will not pick up any flash drive to put the ISO on please help someone!

[@micsaccount1]

search "win32diskimager" . This is a software program that everyone uses to write ISO and Image files to USB and SD cards. This will allow you to boot from the USB. You may have to go into BIOS to make sure the computer checks the USBs for a bootable device. Sometimes your computer is set to just look at the hard drives.

[@boomshack4984]

Did you make sure it allows you to download windows 10? Mine was defaulted to windows 7 so I needed to change it in bios

[@HP-rc7jh]

Michael Smith thank I actually used another program that forced the ISO on to it. For some reason it wouldn't let me use any memory drive through the normal tool creator, topical windows troubles lol

[@HP-rc7jh]

Not all motherboards have a boot option like that on startup but many do, and the key that's used can vary. Usually you'll see a splash screen right after you power on with the motherboard manufacturer's logo and the boot interrupt keys listed, usually at the bottom of the screen - Del for BIOS/UEFI, F11 for Boot Options etc.

*I NEED HELP WITH HDD SETUP 29:02 Hi, Recently I just finished building my first PC build. I configured the settings in the BIOS and got everything setup the way I wanted it to be. I have a 250 GB SSD as my boot device for Windows 10 and a WD 1TB HDD. Everything was working great! I went into disk management. The SSD(Disk 0) is showing up and the HDD(Disk 1) is shown as well, but the HDD wasn't showing up to where I could use it to store anything on it yet. So, I went ahead and did something to mess something up with it. Now, what is shown is only Disk 0(my SSD) and System Reserve(500 MB). How can I fix to make it show again and initialize it?

[@deliciousrecipes205]

Jeffrey Croft u gotta install windows on that hdd also

[@cliang001]

If you still need help after 4 months.. check your Bios and see if it even recgonizes your HDD as a drive. If Not, then something is wrong with the connection. If it still isnt showing up, and you have made sure it's plugged in, reflash your bios

[@j3ffc95x]

chin-yen Liang I sold it to a friend and he was able to initialized it on his pc with no problems, and I bought another one and I was able to initialize it too with no problems.

Not sure what to include other than basing it around some kind of Ryzen CPU. Last PC I built was about 15 years ago. The process seems a little simpler now bat hasn't changed much. There just seems to be much more in terms of component options. I think it will take a while to put my spec together... Any spec suggestions welcome...

How did you install windows without the key, does it mean that you didn't pay for the windows

[@KD-op4pb]

Im having the same question. Do you not have to pay for windows 10?

[@pr0perproductions684]

When you install windows you can click now to pay for it immediately and it'll give you like a trial for around 2 weeks. It's what I'm on currently, but at the due date windows will kick you off of their os until you finally get a product key.

[@dipi71]

Don't install Windows, install Linux. UEFI is Linux-based anyway, you may just go all the way. No key needed.

(Maybe drivers are needed only when using Graphics Card?)_ _So will I be able to use a Monitor (or TV via HDMI), Keyboard and Mouse without installing drivers, so that I can use them to navigate through BIOS while having no Operating System?_ _I won't be using Graphics Card by the way and I'll be installing Linux Mint instead of Windows._ *_Newbie here..._*

you instal the oem to the better drive you have, if its ssd then for ssd, if they both hdd then check their rpm, install it into the one that has more rpm, most commonly you have ssd + hdd (if this way you install oem&programs&games on the ssd, store videos and music files on the hdd)

Whether they think it's better or worse than 7 has nothing to do with it. Microsoft allows you to download and create the installation media for Win 7 / 8 / 10 for free, and they've had this for quite some time now. You will still need a license key in order to activate it.

Due to the way Windows 10 activates w/digital entitlement, I'd prefer it on Kinguin. I've heard from a few people who purchased older versions and had activation problems.

[@bboyette8487]

So my best bet for getting a key for windows 7, would be to get a brand new disc with full activation key? or go with windows 10 on kinguin?

You need to install drivers to make sure your hardware works efficiently,in some cases to make sure that it just works

[@HeinousAnusOG]

im subbed lets see this happen

[@petenielsen6683]

For some motherboards (although it is becoming less common all the time) even the network adapter needs separate drivers for the network connection. And assuming you do not want overclocking, sometimes the auto settings for memory are incorrect and you need to override them to get what you have paid for.

[@i_m_ash]

You need drivers for all your hardware to work, like graphic card, sound card, video card, keyboards, mouse, etc. Windows 10 can provide you with default drivers, which works in most cases. But in some cases, they are outdated or doesn't work at all. For example, Windows 10 can provide you with out-of-date Nvidia graphic card drivers. So, you will need to install your graphic card drivers from Nvidia's website, or install GeForce Experience, which can detect and easily update your graphic card.

[@PegasusTenma1]

10,000 subscribers without any videos!!! You need a chipset driver, sound driver and the Intel management engine to make sure those respective hardware are working because as he describe, windows 10 installer still doesn’t have all the essentials it needs to talk to those external peripherals and stuff
