    I am sorry to hear things are not going well. It takes practice to get the hang of setting up a computer from scratch.

    It is really important to take things slowly, including software! Only do the basics (dont even copy media files such as Video or music until the programs are clearly working well).

    If you care to, It would be cool to see the insides of your system some time!
