hey, im not very good with computer but i do know some stuff and i built mine. I was wondering if somone could help me or tell me what to search for on google for a tutorial. When i start up my computer after i turn it off it says failur to system boot. Then when i restart it after that screen it turns on fine. Alot of people are recomending to reset Configuration Memory Operating System (CMOS). But I am not sure how to do this, i searched on google and i couldnt find anything i was wondering if anyone could help me.

You should have a Clear CMOS jumper on your motherboard for that purpose.

Generally, with the pc turned off, you need only to close the clear CMOS jumper for few seconds (I suggest for few minutes). Then you MUST set the jumper on the previous state (before the close jumper operation). DO NOT power on the pc with the jumper still closed on the clear position.
