what to do after assembling the computer components?
what do you do after you install all the components in a computer? do u install operating system first?Mother board? please take me step by step if u can. im a newbie at this stuff.
Cross your fingers and hit the power button. make sure your fans. especially your cpu fan are working. Hit delete upon startup to go into bios and have it boot off your CD and check your harddrive settings and enable your LAN so the OS installation will see it and install drivers for it(it doesn’t always do that–sometimes you have to use the motherboard CD) Make sure you have Enhanced hard drive drivers ready on a CD or DVD for Vista–floppy for XP) , XP will have you hit F6 if you have drivers then it will ask you to insert the floppy, Vista will just have you put the disc in. Check temps of cpu while in bios. Slip the operating CD in and turn puter off then back on. A prompt"hit any key to boot from CD" will come up–hit a key and you’re on your way. The install will walk you thru partitioning and formatting the hard drive then will start installing the OS. After the Windows install begins Windows will reboot several times automatically and that "hit ant key to boot from CD" prompt will come up again. Dont hit a key. You only hit a key and boot off the CD the first time. Just let the computer boot off the hard drive and continue the installation. I don’t know if you’ve ever installed XP or ME before but I thought I’d tell you that when installing Vista you will get a black screen for long times sometimes 30 seconds–thats normal. Always a good idea to have a puter with internet access around so you can access the net if you need to to look something up if you run into probs. You can install your audio drivers etc off the motherboard CD after you get the OS in. Then your antivirus and then set up your internet go online and download tons of Windows updates. I wouldn’t even bother with the video drivers that come with the card but go to ATI or Nvidia and download and install the latest ones. Have fun.
i dont get it

Once you have assembled all the computer parts togeather you install the operating system. The operating systems that we use nowdays are mostly XP or vista both of these operating systems will install all the required drivers (Including the motherboard driver), after you finish installation if any device appears as unknown then you can install the driver manually.

plug the necessary wires into the computer (power, keyboard, mouse), start it up, and insert the operating system disk.

i build computers
1) turn on the computer just in case to make sure there are no weird beeps and you can see everything in the bios page (hd, dvd etc)
2) install the operating system
3) install motherboard (it’ better to download latest drivers)
4) install vga (same)
5) install everything else
6) update operating system

The safest thing to do is ask a computer engineer to do it, you might end up damaging something, see how they assemble it and you can do it yourself later when you get a new system.
Only after the motherboard you can fix the Internal power supply, then the
hard-disk
floppydrive
cd drive
modem
etc i.e. all internal parts
then you must close the cabinet
fix the powercords for your CPU, monitor
fix the mouse cable, monitir cable in the respective slots at the back side of the computer and so on.
now start the system and quickly press the DELETE button continuously
you would be taken to the BIOS, there you need to change the primary boot device to CD and the secondary to Hard-disk i.e. IDE0001 (something)
and quit after saving and qbefore it reboots put your XP installation CD or whatever O/s and restart and follow the instructions in the window that comes etc
Still safe to do this by asking your computer supplier whoever it’s.
