    Brought a second hand PC….. help!


    Just an FYI I don’t really know much about computers, so if anyone does have any tips please keep that in mind, thank you. So a few weeks ago we got a PC, we brought it from a guy that sources parts, builds PCs and sells them. I tested it, it worked great. Got home and that night the PC just crashed? Basically it didn’t respond to anything, we got a flickering white screen than a blank white screen. Messaged the guy, he claimed it was a faulty windows so reinstalled it for me, Everything was working good for a few weeks until today, we turned the PC on and it took ages to load, which is not no

    is it possible to hand build a motherboard?

    Might I suggest you simply build a computer, making notes and taking pictures step by step. Most people (probably including your teacher) have no idea even where to start building a computer. You'll do fine, and if you get stuck we're here to help ya out! *Toast :toast:
