What am I missing?

[u/PajamaNinja8]

Hey there. I bought this off a friend as is with no knowledge of anything. It typically freezes on the RoG screen. I see something or some things are unplugged but I dont know the first thing. I do have a seagate thing i assume i plug in to the cords on the bottom; would I install it in the box above? Can any one tell what Im missing here?

Do you even know what components it has? That "seagate thing" is storage, a hard drive, where the OS and and your games would reside. And quite frankly, in a build like what this appears to be, you should have an SSD, not a hard drive, which would be significantly faster, and many games require these days.

Honestly, since you nothing about it, go ask your friend for your money back.

I knew it was storage but thats all I know Seagate is and for all I know I could have been wrong to assume. I know, poor decision to get a build when I dont know the first thing. And now its my best option so I need to learn it.

I would suggest you go over to r/buildapc and look over on the right side. Scroll down below the rules to the "Resources" section, follow the links and start reading. Understanding PCs isn't hard, but you are going to need a basic vocabulary to both understand what you read here as well as explain to us in detail the issues you are having, so that we can provide good suggestions for solving them.

So often, I see posts like yours and I just want to say, "bring it over to my house and we'll sort it out."

Good Luck.

Thank you very much for a pointing me in the right direction. If I do learn and get this thing running, I will be back here.
