hi , i assembled this kit without any knowledge of buying or building a PC for my son . It was a great idea i hope, but now I feel like I'm standing in a barrel of S!!T, after reading all the reviews at newegg about the asua M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 with all the problems it has ,,, is there any fix that has been released ?
Am I better off sending it back and getting something else?
Can i expect any help from Asus ?
oh by now you probably guessed i'm not IT pc literate this is our first build.
I'm just a dad doing whats right for my 13 year old son, he does start a computer class next year as a freshman in high school , so i thought this would be a project for him to learn more about PC's overclocking (that fly's right over my head) , and
this new, Real Flight R/C simulator G5.5 , our old xp is not up to the task.
any help you can offer is very much appreciated.
my list :
asus 24x burner sata drw-24b3lt ,,dvd-cd
seagate barracuda 7200.12 st1000528as 1 TB,,
