Bought new motherboard but need help:(
 

Hey i just bought a A8N-SLI SE motherboard as i want to use pci graphics cards but im stuck on where a few wires go:eyebrow:
heres a video i took with my mobile because i dont have a clue what there for so i cant give much more details.
Theres 2 separate bunches, one is 4 unnamed wires but are colour coded; red green,blue and black. The other bunch is 8 wires; 2 say "VCC", 2 say "g" and the other 4 say port + and port - (hope that means something to anyone:biggrin: )
help would be great

EDIT cant post video..not enough posts:(

just post the link as hxxp://whatever.com/video.3gp or something.

It should be in the manual packaged with the MB, I put one together just yesterday and surprisingly Gigabyte mislabeled a few of the wires (LEDs) so trial and error. :juggler:

I have thoroughly checked the manual:(..It won't even power up! Im wondering if its the power supply. Can you buy different types of power units?

heres the video of the wires i dont know where to go: hxxp://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a165/mgsfreak/?action=view&current=05082006002.flv
but that probably has nothing to do with it not powering up does it?

Just a USB connection. Ignore it for now.

By the face that it won't turn on, the other wires are apparently your power button and reset button jumpers. Connect them appropriately.

thanks:D
 

thanks man thats good to know:)

According to the manual i have plugged the power and hdd ect leads in the right place but still no power... i pluged the power unit into the 4-pin ATX12V power connector but this motherboard has 24 pin connector block and my power unit only uses a 20 connecter. It still slots in from the top but could that be why it wont boot up?
