So I've spent the last 5~ hours building my computer, the final 3 parts came all at the same time
So I jumped right into it with my brother
It's now completely assembled, Motherboard (for the most part) CPU (had no problem with this) CPU fan (HUGE problems with this, was very stressful installing this bastard) RAM (went fine for the most part) and PSU which is going to need some wire/cable management, but is absolutely fine
Everything recognizes itself, and it can go into the BIOS just fine. Identifies the CPU and RAM fine. But I was under the impression I would be able to reuse my Hard Drive, but when the computer starts up (it looks fucking amazing) it says the hard drive had problems starting up due to potential hardware changes.
Going to make this blunt,
wat do?
Don't want to reformat my HDD and lose everything, the best thing I think I could do is clone my boot drive onto something else and use that to boot. But what would happen after that?
Also, moved my graphics card so check out this swag
