Hi

Just finished putting together my first home build for a friend.

It seems to work ok but I get the an error message on boot up -> "Hardware Monitor found an error. Enter Power set-up menu for details" (which can be seen here: http://www.3rotorfd.com/title.htm)... If I took pics of the inside is there likely to be any thing obvious I haven’t done/plugged in that may result in this error message occurring perhaps?!

As I said this is my first attempt at building so the possibilities as to why this is happening are probably endless. All devices are ok when I look at them from windows. I literally bolted it together and turned it on so any pointers would be good!

I haven’t bothered plugging the 2 front of case mounted USB ports or the audio/mic wires, presumed this wouldn’t make any diff...

Lost and a bit scared,
Rich

There's other possibilities, but lets start here. Have you tried clearing the CMOS/BIOS. Look in your manual for the jumper to clear, or disconnect the power and remove the battery for at least five minutes.
