building a new DIY PC

Ok, they didn't post my last reply, because I decided to say my greek buddy.
I usually get along great with greeks, but one bad apple doesn't spoil the
whole bunch.
Ok, I wanted to say in my last reply, that I brought the PC into a PC tech
and he put and I stress HE put the power supply tester onto the P1 24 pin
mobo connector on the power supply and then told me all the devices worked ok
except the motherboard. So, that's the analysis of the PC tech and I stress
again, the PC TECH!
What now, you want me to bring it back and have him put the tester on again
and tell me it's the motherboard? I already said, it's been replaced, at
least, and the CPU chip is new. I know the CPU chip that I returned had a bad
cooler plug and this one is new. In fact, the employee on the tele told me
that they take a new CPU chip package off the shelf and that's the way they
do it at newegg.com with returned CPU chips. The mobo, I think not, because
if it was new, it would've been sealed in plastic, which it wasn't. So, now
we are at a crossroads, your telling me that only once in your life have you
had a bad chip. This chip is new and been replaced with a new one, the mobo
had been replaced, now what? Replace the RAM? All the RAM is going to do is
not display anything up on the monitor. The PC should still fire up if the
RAM is bad. Yes or no? I think yes it will still fire up.
I ran through the whole gamut with the living room PC, which is now running
perfectly, and it turned out it was the mobo battery 2032 that needed to be
replaced. Ok, lets give you a run down of my experience. It wouldn't fire up
and then once it fired up, the monitor wouldn't display. I checked the power
plug first to see if it was plugged in right. Then I checked if it was
shorting out. I then changed the power supply, still wouldn't fire up. I
switched the power cable, still nothing. I ran through I can't remember every
damn thing and still nothing. Ok, I went to Home Depot and bought a battery
tester and decided to test out the battery tester on the Button Cell & Zinc
Air 1.3V - 1.5V option tester. I started testing all the orgainizer and
motherboard batteries in the house. It turns out, the 2032 mobo battery on
the living room PC wasn't working, Bingo! Ok, now it is firing up, but
nothing is coming or displaying on the monitor. Ok, now I reseat the RAM
sticks first, nothing, then I check the video card and it's settings and
change the video card, still nothing. I check the hard drive to make sure
it's working properly, nothing. I checked some other things, ok, switched
monitors, still nothing. I wtf. Ok, only when I changed the motherboard did I
finally get it to work.
Alrighty! WTF would you have done differently?
I'm asking questions here, because I want to learn as much as I can about
PCs and I can humble myself and ask questions even though I might or may know
the answer already. Maybe someone has a better way of doing it. I'd always
format my hard drives by taking them out and putting them into other PCs as
the slave, so I would be able to format it. By asking questions here, I found
out I could format my hard drive that has the primary OS on it, by using a
floppy disc. I still haven't done that yet, though. I'd like to format a hard
drive alot easier by using a floppy diskette, instead of taking it out and
installing it as a slave on another PC.
Alright, I'm getting tired and this is going nowhere.
One more thing, the reason I make new posts instead of going back to a
former post is because people lose track. I'm not even going to explain that
one.
I wanted to ask something here, but I'm already to my max output right now.
Any more help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, attilathehun1

You should type something before you press the SEND button.

You should also know that your Usenet interface client is broken, it
does not properly strip signature lines when you reply.
