| 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 _______________________________________ I am doing exactly as u guys are telling me, so plz take my problem seriously. |
