Now you have finished with all the parts installation. It’s time to do the final testing to check if the system is working.

Plug in the power cord, keyboard and mouse to their respective ports. Connect the monitor cord to the VGA port and turn on the system. (refer to the picture for various ports position)

If all the connections are done correctly, you should be able see the BIOS on the monitor. If nothing is displayed on the screen, turn off the system and check your connection again.

Enter your PC’s BIOS setup screen by pressing the indicated key (often Delete) as the machine boots. Set the date and time, and then look for a setting that deals with PC health status and monitoring. It should bring up a screen showing processor and case temperature. Watch the processor temperature for a few minutes. It should stabilize at a level between 70C and 80C. If it keeps increasing, your heat sink probably isn’t installed properly. Power down and check to see whether the heat sink is securely attached and making good contact with the processor.

Next, find the section of the BIOS setup that shows your hardware device. Make sure that it detects both your hard drive and CD drive. Set CD drive to the first boot device so that your machine can boot from the Windows installation CD.

Once everything is okay, save the setting and exit the BIOS (usually the Esc key). You have just finished building your own computer.

Congratulation!!!
