MMMM. graham lets see who was being outta line and insulting first. sure not me and its pretty hard to know on a self made puter what goes where when theres no direction. so then logic sets in and you have to try every plug. i never said i was a genius. but its pretty bad when a computer "pro" cant figure out that maybe its not the sockets etc. i even said i would take it to a repair shop or a friend. Me chill out dont think so. YOu just are not gonna talk down to me any kind of way. You folks that think you are all high and mighty will be at the bottom one day. If ya dont what a fight learn how to talk to folks. Maybe other folks bow down at your feet. When you talk crazy to them. I am not the one who will.
