Tomshardware.com is a good website.\nAlso how I learned was - reading magazines like PC Mag, PC World, Computer Shopper, and Maximum PC.\nAnother way - search for different hardware components on Wikipedia or other resource.\nHave fun, a lot to learn ;) and it will never stop either. HA!

it is not as simple as a tutorial that will teach you that. There are so many different problems a computer can experience that you owuld spend years of constant reading to know everything, a lot of it is a case of trial and error.\n\nI would read some tutorials on the types of hardware and what they do so that you can get a good understanding of the components of a computer before you dive in.

Try to find the name and model of the motherboard. It is often printed somewhere on the side of the board. Then use a search engine to find the manufacturer's website. Most motherboards will have their user manuals online in pdf form. The manual will show you what everything is for and where to put each component and wire.
