well what kind of power cable does your mobo require?
Either its a 24 pin or a 20 pin connection? You can count on the mobo or on one of the big cables from your PSU. Hmm though try out with the small little cable, just look the pins and try with the different cables.
Though keep in mind that the new mobo might not detect your previous windows installation and it might give a NTLDR is missing error on boot.

Hmm I think u need a converter then... hmm try connecting one and then boot... Though try also to consult the manual since the "connect-and-boot" might cause a malfunction.

Also some mobo's have a four pin socket too. You have to put that in as well as the larger cable.

Maybe. Some mobo's have a fourpin socket some don't. But if the motherboard does have a four pin socket you have to use the four pin plug. Are you sure you PSU has a four pin plug? If not I'm not sure if you can get an adapter.
If not, you'll have to get another PSU.
Ahh just checked the PDF file. Okay do you see the light blue connector. Use one of those.

no no jenni, we are not talking about this "intel" special 4pin 3.3v plug. Only some old intel boards/chipsets used that. TheSaint needs the four pin plufg to make his atx power connector to a 24pin connector.

Okay heres what I would do if I were you. Am I right in saying your large connector from the PSU is a 20 pin?
Plug that into the 24 pin socket making sure you have pin 1 to socket one. Then plug the 4 pin into the 4 pin connector. If that doesn't work, plug it into the other 4 pins next to the 20 pin connector.

All times are GMT + 1 Hour |
. And if that is done i have 2 hdds and there is still windows/data on it because it took it from my old computer, what do i do first? install drivers for mobo and gfx card than reinstal windows or something? I hope i can still be able to access my mp3 that i downloaded on my last computer..
