  1. 6 Mistakes You Make While  Setting Up a Computer System    Remember the time when your father bought the first ever computer in the                           house? You used to observe him set up the whole system him and                           imagined yourself setting up the system in the same way. If you are a tech                               nerd you will surely relate to such situations. Unwrapping the new                       computer set, reading its user guides, spending hours setting up your                       systems is what all tech nerds love. Although it’s been never been easy.                           You can easily screw it up by messing up with your ​computer adapters​,                           cables, and other components if you’re not careful. Here are five mistakes                         explained in detail that we all make and how to avoid them.    A Web Of Power Cables  Your computer plugs do not support equal usage. For example, your                       computer’s internal power supply has two different kinds of 8-pin power                       cables. One for the graphics card and another one for the motherboard. But                           1​​

  2. sometimes we make a mistake to forcefully plug the cables into the wrong                           pins even if the pins are of different shape.  Tip: Squeeze the little 6-pin and 2-pin together to create an 8-pin connector.                           In many GPU cards, they need more than 6-pin or 8-pin connector. And                           make sure to connect all the required pins.  Hanging Graphics Card  When we connect GPU with the case and plug into power, make sure not to                               leave it hanging there. You need to plug in your graphics card into a slot on                                 the motherland. Remove the rubber shield from the GPU, so that you would                           find a slot to plug it into a marching PC-Express lane on the motherboard.  Tip: Don’t rely on the motherboard to carry all the weight. Push the graphics                             card into the slot and make sure to connect it with your card.  Plugging The Motherboard Cables Wrong Way  A motherboard is an important and sensitive component for the computer                       system. And if you are confused while plugging its cables, it might cause                           damage. The problem here is to see where to plug cables on the                           motherboard to make the system buttons work. Therefore, it is advisable to                         plug in the cables accordingly.  2​

  3. Tip: On the back of each tiny computer cable, there's a black arrow. Plug in                               the tiny motherboard cables in the slots before you insert other                       components.  Not Pressing Power Cables  There are several reasons for pressing power cables. Even if your                       motherboard or the graphics card powers up; and your system still remains                         off, you won’t be able to figure out what’s wrong there to make your                             computer work. But if you dig through the root cause, before calling the                           hardware expert or stressing out about it, give a tiny little push to your                             cables. In most cases, it works and starts your computer system.  Though these cables looked like perfectly plugged in, it is important to                         make sure by pushing them towards the connector. This might damage                       your computer system if not plugged in correctly.  Tip: Once you complete the setup of your system, make sure to check the                             computer cable connections properly before switching on the power                   button.  Squishing Your Drive Cables  The hard drive cables sometimes don’t fit inside your case. And you                         continue squishing them inside enough to close the doors of the computer                         3​

  4. case together. But a mistaken step here is that you might have plugged                           them the wrong way!  Most large computer cases contain the hard drive ports facing away from                         the motherboard. And there’s a room beside the computer case for the                         hard drive cables. This way, you can close the computer case without                         stuffing them inside it.  Tip: Use right-angle drive cables. They come with your motherboard and                       doesn’t bend your cables. One end goes into your motherland and the                         right-angle connector into your drive.  Installing Ram, The Wrong Way  A modern RAM has a notch in it that makes it nearly impossible to install                               from backward. However, beginners try to insert their RAM into their                       motherboards from the backward side. So, whenever you install the RAM                       into your motherboard, it is important that you line up the notch in your                             RAM with the related ridge in DIMM slots. It takes some sort of pressure to                               get your RAM to click into place. It is important to not to take such efforts                                 that looks like it might break your memory.  In most cases, it is easy to avoid but be aware of it so that you don’t                                   accidentally force your RAM in a wrong direction.  Conclusion  4​

  5. Mistakes are common. And sometimes they happen regardless of our                     preparations and planning. The key point here is to be aware and not to                             repeat the mistakes you have been doing until today. Choosing the correct                         computer adapters, cables, installation guide will minimize the number of                     mistakes and your set up would not go wrong.
