I'm frustrated with my new build! Help please!

Lugh_Azreak
Level 7
My family owns a computer supply/repair shop, and supplies internet to 3 states. I'm very frustrated and highly embarrassed that I can't run anything with my new build! My last resort is to ask them for help. Last week I got help from HiVizMan, and we've fixed all but the worst problem: something is preventing Windows from operating properly. I can't install some programs, I can't get the drivers (Windows or GPU) I need to work, and my video card keeps crashing. I've installed UDK and opened the program, but it blue screens when you mess with it. I'm willing to skype with a techie if you think you can help, but remember I'm in Saudi Arabia, that's almost exactly the opposite time zone from America.

I named my computer Zeus. Here's the build:
64 Bit Windows 7 Ultimate, Rampage IV Extreme motherboard, 2 sets of 4x4GBs of G. Skill Ripjaws Z series 19200 PC3 RAM (that's 2400MHz by the way), Western Digital 2TB 6GB/s HDD, Intel I7 Extreme 3930K Step C2 Processor (from the UK), Noctua NH-D14 Cooling unit, Silverstone Strider 1500W PSU, and the AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Graphics Card... not the oc edition.

Thanks in advance.

these rants serve no purpose to help with the OP question.

Please keep on target without flaming.

+1 vote for chrsplmr's idea! Take it apart and start from scratch. When you get to the point to start Windows installation, read this before and follow the steps: http://www.overclock.net/t/1156654/seans-windows-7-install-optimization-guide-for-ssds-hdds

Carefully choose the steps which apply to an HDD - and yes, be sure that you have reformatted the HDD before you start.

As I got it from your post #13, the big problems started after you tried to install the the programs in the utilities section all at once. Next time take it one by one - just those things you really need. Some of the programs may be incompatible with your drivers (presumably the VGA one), this way you can figure out which one - and just remove that.

And don't give up! It's certainly a very frustrating experience, but try to stay calm - I know, it's easier to say than to do it... But you have to be able to focus. Whenever your mood is getting in the red zone, just take a brake, don't rush.

Xtreme-Performance, please stay on topic.

Zka17, I am editing your post in an effort to clean up the thread; your question was warranted but would not make sense with prior editing in the thread.

I do hope you understand, thank you for always being a positive part of the forum.

Simple. I'm trying to stop cyberbullying and if you've been in this forum before. You'd know chrsplmr doesn't posts his comments this way.
I'm actually trying to help everyone not only Azreak. By showing everyone what does a Cyberbully look like. The best way to stop cyberbully is to catch them in crime. By shaming them in public forum is one way to do this. I'd think that chrsplmr is also a Guru? And you should know about forum policy. Like HiVizMan says this is a family forum. And Cyberbullying shouldn't be tolerated. Hackers act immature like cyberbullying.

I'm just putting my feet down and stop the violence of hate crime like Cyberbullying. If you think my method is wrong please tell the modorator about me if you think I've crossed the line? Understood?! :cool:

He used "Virgin Build" like his making fun of Azreak shows immaturity for a person who's trying to help someone. I've seen his attitude online games how people act ELITIST I think it's time someone needs to put his EGO down to size. Who's acts immature in this forum. I would think these forum is to help people and yet I find people like Chrsplmr is horsing around. Why not get straight to the point it sounds like he's telling Azreak he's a "Virgin Build" that's pretty much of Cyberbullying wouldn't you agree? Like how immature children are in elementary school to high school how they'd like making fun of people who looks like a geek or a nerd just cos he likes playing with computers like ASUS?

I would think computer's have a sense of good humor and maturity and yet I find chrsplmr saying words like "Virgin Build" or immitating my way of texting in the forum like ohh... like... this guy... is... such a spaz... he acts like in diapers... keeps telling people there a... "virgin build"... so he can feel... like enormous hot rod is bigger.... then LeBronz James Inflated EGO...

Xtreme-Performance, what exactly is your problem? I really got confused about your last 4 posts in this thread... How these recent posts from you suppose to help Lugh Azreak? Don't forget, this is his thread, he is asking for help! If you have personal problems with one of the ROGers, just post in their personal page (Visitor Messages), or just simply PM them...


And HIVIZMAN did say it's a family forum... cos a guy posted said your being nice... and Hivizman yeah I'd really like to post what I feel but this is a family forum...

So explain to me if Chrsplmr knows it's a family forum... why he uses words like a immature elementary school or intermediate school referring Azreak and his experience about computers a "Virgin Build"? That's what I call Sherlock Holmes pet detective lol Cyberbullying people just called his a novice builder represents bullying like a "Virgin" referes to no experience like a "No experience builder" plane as simple I state the fact Judge Dread (and which Chrsplmr dreaded me of defying his immaturity and show proof of Cyberbulling)

Looks like Chrsplmr logged off... for Cyberbullying Newbies... I'm just defending Azreak since Chrsplmr stated "Virgin Build" that I'm just defending Azreak's honor of a novice bulder trying to learn a impressive machine like ASUS so he can be an enthusiast like everyone else who has fallen in love with ASUS... or My GOD!! Impressive!!

"Understood?!" - sincerely, not at all... Did you check the meaning of the word "cyberbullying"? I've read this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-bullying - I don't see anything wrong in chrsplmr's last post here. I actually agreed with him - that's what Lugh Azreak should do based on my opinion too.

"Like HiVizMan says this is a family forum." - I agree, but you are the one who acts like outside the family...

As I said, if you have a personal problem with someone, please, PM that person or the moderators!
Can you imagine how much harm you're causing to Lugh Azreak in this moments? Imagine, the pour guy is waiting for posts which would help him and instead he is getting this...

So, I finished this discussion with you here - if that's not thread-related. Let's get back to the real problems here!
