784388 2009-06-22 06:27:00 Your basic mother board Connectors are;

24 or older 20 Pin main power plug.
12v 4 pin plug ( newer boards may have more 8 pins) - normally close to the CPU
Some mother boards, also have a Molex Plug - but not many.

The other power plugs will be to the hard Drive(s) Optical Drive, Floppy if you have one and Some graphic Cards require a 6 pin Power plug as well.

ALL these plugs can only go in ONE WAY - they are designed so you cant put the wrong plug in the wrong hole.

What is the Make / Model of the new Power supply - Most PSU's dont have a separate ground wire.

As speedy rightly points out
Take it back to the shop and get them to check / fix it - something is not right, and while advice can be given here - it will only cost you more money as it will only be hit and miss as to where the problem is.

784390 2009-06-22 07:03:00 Hey Guys, i've sent it for checking, and conected the old 500 watts PSU, and pc starts with the old one. does that mean, anything wrong with my new PSU?
i sent it anyway, it will take 1 day to get to the shop, bcz i've ordered it from outside, bcz, there is no 600 watt psu in my place, so i had to buy this one from outside, and now replace will take time too.
By the way, is 500 watt enough for my current setup?

Intel Core2 Duo
3 GB DDR2 RAM (2GB+1GB)
Motherboard :(ASUS P5KPL-CM)
Graphics Card : NVIDIAGeforce 9800
Sond Card :PCI sound card (forgot the name)
1 TB HDD (Seagate)
1 DVD Writer

784391 2009-06-22 07:15:00 500W should be enough for what you currently have connected.
It is dependant on brand as to how reliable it is though.

784393 2009-06-22 09:06:00 It's not text speak, I think it is a person whose home language is German if I am not mistaken, doing a fairly good job of communicating the essentials in English, a second or even a third language. zqwerty (97)
