need help badly

[XII]

sorry if i have posted this in the wrong forum but this is my first post on here.

i have just bought everything to build a decent gaming computer, i have assembled it all today but i have some problems, they are listed below.

1. the computer itself when turned on displays a list of choices to start windows these are, last known good configuration, safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with dos, start normally, i have tried all of these options and the computer after bringing up the windows XP screen for 45 secs then just restarts and then the process is repeated any ideas? :mad:

2. i have just bought a thermaltake armor series case but cannot figure out where to put the top mounted USB, Firewire, earphone and mic cabling to on my motherboard, the MB is a DFI Lanparty NF4. :(

3. also i have a Mitsumi 7 in 1 card reader with built in FDD, the FDD is connected but i cannot figure out where to put the cabling for the card reader on the MB :(


any help will be greatly appreciated. :D

cheers.

1. This could be a dying PSU (power supply unit) as mine had similar problems. what PSU do you have? It should be labelled on the PSU itself.

2. All i can say is refer to your manual for exact instructions, the wires should plug into little pin arrays in the motherboard somewhere.

3. The floppy disk drive connector looks much like a hard drive ribbon cable connector. The socket on your mobo looks like this:

Its the black socket on the right.
