Chapter 74 Could she be a genius?!
At this moment, the best PC building tutorial video on the entire internet, bar none, has been released yet. Chen Che has no choice but to watch other PC building videos to learn from them, but they are either different models or different interfaces, leaving Chen Che somewhat confused.
Chen Che managed to plug in all the cables, and when he pressed the power button, the host computer did not respond at all, and the motherboard fault light came on.
"Damn it, I already accepted them all." Chen Che started to get a bit of impotent rage, threw the screwdriver on the table, and began to sigh heavily.
Glancing to the side, I saw Chen Sui calmly reviewing the motherboard manual.
"Chen Che, which LED on the motherboard was lit just now?"
"Uh... I don't remember." Chen Che shook his head.
Chen Sui didn't say anything, but smoothly walked past Chen Che and sat down in the chair. She pressed the power button again, and this time she saw clearly that the VGA light was red.
"The manual says that if the VGA light is on, it means there might be a problem with the graphics card."
"Damn, is there something wrong with the graphics card? Did I hit the jackpot and the graphics card broke right after I built the computer?" Chen Che was dumbfounded.
"Not necessarily, it might be a problem with the cable." Chen Sui pinched her chin and made a deduction.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I already inserted it!" Chen Che shook his head firmly.
"I didn't say you didn't plug it in, maybe it wasn't plugged in properly." As Chen Sui spoke, she looked into the computer case. She could see at a glance that the cable was the power cable connecting the power supply to the graphics card. Chen Sui pressed it and pushed it in a little more.
After restarting the power supply of the host, a low "humming" sound was heard, the motherboard's self-test passed, and the host started running happily.
The problem is obvious. Chen Sui nodded affirmatively and said, "Chen Che, it seems that the power cable for the graphics card is not plugged in properly."
"Oh~ so the cable wasn't plugged in properly! You know what a mess this is." Chen Che exclaimed "Oh" as if he had just realized something, completely ignoring his previously incredibly confident attitude.
Now all we have to do is install the system, and victory is just around the corner!
Chen Che took out the USB flash drive from his pocket and was about to plug it into the motherboard interface on the back of the computer when he saw that the area was completely black and wondered if something was wrong.
Chen Sui called out to him, "Chen Che, there's a small metal piece inside the motherboard box. Is it useful?" Chen Sui picked up a rectangular piece with many small rectangular notches on it, which corresponded perfectly to the connectors at the back of the motherboard.
Damn, the motherboard I/O shield isn't installed?! That's the first thing that should be installed!
"Shouldn't this... be installed in the back?" Chen Sui asked tentatively.
"No, it's just a useless thing." Chen Che shook his head decisively.
"It's the baffle that's installed on the rear interface, right?" Chen Sui's tone became increasingly certain.
"It's not like we absolutely have to install it... If we didn't install it in the first place, we'll have to completely disassemble and reinstall it now."
"Oh, then let's reinstall it." Chen Sui thought for a moment and said casually.
"I don't want to! If you want to pretend, you can pretend yourself." Chen Che shook his head like a rattle drum.
"Okay, I'll install it then." Now, reinstalling not only means installing it, but also means disassembling it completely first. Instead of the expected compromise, he heard Chen Sui's excited and expectant tone: "Besides, these wires are all tangled up in a mess, it looks so awful."
"Once the back panel is covered, you can't see it anymore, so what's the point of tidying it up?" Chen Che decided to use his stubbornness to cover up his weak, practically nonexistent, ability to tidy up cables.
"But isn't it easy to sort out the threads? Look at this one, if you go through this gap, it can be gathered together with this bunch." Chen Sui picked out two threads from the messy ball of thread and gestured.
"It seems so..."
"Then thread these clusters together through this seam, and the thread will be straightened out," Chen Sui added.
"You haven't even done the actual installation, it's not as simple as you think." Chen Che didn't take it seriously.
Chen Sui didn't want to waste her breath arguing with him, so she picked up a screwdriver and started working, oblivious to everyone else, focusing intently on the computer in front of her.
When Chen Sui gets serious, in addition to her youthful beauty as a college girl, she also has a charming coolness.
He deftly disassembled everything that was already installed, so smoothly that Chen Che was dumbfounded. This was the same person who had just inserted a memory stick backwards.
Then I put the baffle back on and started routing and organizing the cables again. At first, it wasn't very smooth, and I unconsciously frowned. When I stopped, I rolled up my hair with my fingers and played with it a couple of times.
After understanding the structure, he straightened out the wires according to the previous idea, and casually instructed Chen Che to bring over the bag of cable ties from the packaging box.
So that bag of cable ties was used to bundle all the wires together.
Before long, the task was completed, and the lights were successfully turned on.
"How is it?" Chen Sui asked.
"You didn't learn this before, did you?" Chen Che asked, his face full of shock. A max-level expert was playing the fool in the newbie village with his buddies?
"No, I just watched the video with you, that's all," Chen Sui replied confidently, trying to convince Chen Che that she wasn't lying.
"Those videos all have different computer case models and such, and you were able to disassemble and assemble the computer in front of us, and even sort out the cables?" Chen Che asked in astonishment.
"Isn't the principle the same? What's so difficult about it? Look how neatly the wires are arranged now, it's so pleasing to the eye," Chen Sui said matter-of-factly.
"Class monitor."
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"You may be a once-in-a-lifetime genius."
"It's alright, anyone could do something this simple," Chen Sui said nonchalantly. What was frightening was that this wasn't modesty, but her true thoughts, which were like a sharp blade stabbing into someone's heart.
Damn, I've blown you guys out of the water.
"But there's still a problem," Chen Sui suddenly said, as if she had just remembered something.
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you say before that if the CPU has integrated graphics, it can still boot up normally and pass the self-test even without a dedicated graphics card?"
"Yes, that's right." Chen Che thought about it and realized that there was nothing wrong with the principle itself.
"Then why is the VGA error light still on on our computer?" Chen Sui asked, puzzled.
"Oh...yes...why is that?" Chen Che thought about it for a moment, following Chen Sui's train of thought, and it seemed to make sense.
Why?
"I'm asking you a question." Chen Sui looked at him.
Chen Che thought for a moment, then gave a concise and excellent four-word answer: "I don't know."
"Fine, if you don't want to tell me, I'll find out myself," Chen Sui said, pouting.
"Damn, I really didn't know." Chen Che was speechless.
After a while, Chen Che asked, "How is it? Did you find it?"
"No." Chen Sui shook her head: "But I thought about it, is there such a possibility?"
Since we have a dedicated graphics card, and its performance is definitely better than that of an integrated graphics card, the motherboard will definitely prioritize using the dedicated graphics card's interface.
However, the power cable for the dedicated graphics card was not plugged in properly, and the motherboard could not detect the dedicated graphics card.
This is why the motherboard, which has a dedicated graphics card, ignores the integrated graphics card. However, since the dedicated graphics card cannot be found, the error light illuminates.
After messing around with the hardware for ages, installing Windows 7 wasn't too difficult; it was just a matter of clicking "Next" all the way through.
After overcoming numerous difficulties, I finally got to the desktop, and a sense of accomplishment welled up inside me. Now all I had to do was download the game and enjoy playing it.
However, as the saying goes, joy turns to sorrow, and one must recognize that prosperity and decline are finite. What follows is a deep sense of powerlessness that replaces the sense of accomplishment.
What games are worth playing these days? The graphics are so terrible, and you can't even run 4K ray tracing effects at full throttle. Everything just feels so boring.
Chen Sui noticed that Chen Che's expression had become somewhat subtle, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Che sighed softly and uttered only three words:
"It's good for my stomach."
"ah?!"
When Chen Che realized what he had said, he turned his head and saw only Chen Sui's terrified gaze.
