If you don't know, grounding it simply involves either a static strip that is a band that you attach to your wrist which attaches to the case, or having the power plugged into a fully connecting computer, and touching the side of the case is plugged in. It's plugged in properly if the motherboard light is on the off position.
possible hardware failure, help please? - Page 2

I'm not too familiar with static shocks. But I thought it is only significant when in the process of building the computer and not when it's running, right? or wrong? I really wouldn't know... | ||

When you RMA a purchase off newegg, they charge you. So let us take some precautionary steps to see if we can get this off the ground. Some things I need to know: Do you have ANY replacement parts that would match any of your computer's current archetype? Can you send pictures of your current setup? Why are you trying to game on integrated graphics? Have you tried resetting the CMOS? You would be surprised... | ||

I have no replacement parts of this archetype. This is literally the first computer I've ever made and have no friends with similar interests; hence, the inexperience. At the moment, I don't feel that taking pictures would be of any use seeing that I just shipped out the motherboard to ASUS about two hours ago. I was merely curious about the capabilities of the build. Yes, I attempted to reset the CMOS with no success. Edit: fixed grammar | ||
