It's been one week now and I haven't even turned it on since setting it up. Anyone else been in a similar situation?

Just goes to show most of Cred Forums isn't tech savvy enough to benefit from running games...

Every time

those were the times
I get the feeling mods will delete this thread or the op because it's not anime...
Like they did for Are they all autistic virgins?
I can confirm I have done this. I left my quad-core, GTX 760 rig for two years before I started it again.
On my most recent build it kept erroring on post because of my RAM. Everything was seated correctly. I popped my second DIMM out and it posted just fine then. I reseated it into a different slot and it worked so the DIMM itself was fine. After dicking with it for a few days I put it back in it's original slot and had no problems since. They get finicky sometimes.
so glad I never fell for the gaming pc meme
huh I didn't realize Cred Forums was
I'm kind of going through a similar experience.
I built a ~$700 pc and played games for like a month.
Now I just shot post in IRC channels all day.

No.
I spent money buying those parts. I will fucking make them work, and the system will be put together professionally. Again and again, as many times as it takes, until it works like a piece of art without any flaw.
Usually takes 3 days or so, maybe a week. Then it runs for ten years, or more, with a good cleaning every 4-6 months.
