| 664406 | 2008-04-30 12:15:00 | Sata hard drives with sata power connectors... Ok and did you connect the data cables too (SATA hdds need 2 cables) One for data the other for the power |

| 664407 | 2008-04-30 12:18:00 | Yep, but the drives are empty | EviLClouD (12981) | ||
| 664408 | 2008-04-30 12:21:00 | Yep, but the drives are empty Err it helps if you put something on them so it boots dude Will it let you get into the BIOS?? If it does, change it to cd for the bootdisk, and chuck the windows cd and see if it boots. And lets you install Windows. If it does install Windows first It looks like theres a 6/8 pin PCI-E connector and an 8 pin EPS connector. You maybe plugging the PCI-E plugs in, try the other one |

| 664409 | 2008-04-30 12:26:00 | Nope nothing....isn't it meant to still post/bios without an os? I'm not sure how to install the os if my pc shuts off after like 10 secs... Problem is when I press the power button/turn power on, all the lights turn on, fans spin (cpu fan kinda spins/stops/spins etc) for about 10 or so seconds...then everything just turns off. Nothing appears on the monitor. |

| 664410 | 2008-04-30 12:30:00 | I'm definitely not plugging the PCIE one into motherboard because on the plug/cable itself it says for graphics card only | EviLClouD (12981) | ||
| 664411 | 2008-04-30 12:31:00 | Hmm well this is what it says in the manual, now that I've managed to get it Use of a power supply providing a 2x4 12V power connector is recommended by the CPU manufacturer when using an Intel Extreme Edition CPU (130W). • To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (500W or greater). The main power connector is compatible with power supplies with 2x10 power connectors. To prevent system instability or system's failure to boot, be sure to connect a power supply providing a 2x12 power connector. • The ATX_12V_2X power connector is compatible with power supplies with 2x2 12V power connector. When using a power supply providing a 2x4 12V and power connector, remove the protective covers from the 12V power connector and the main power connector on the motherboard. Do not insert the power supply cables into pins under the protective covers when using a power supply providing a 2x2 12V power connector. You did connect the main power to the 24 pin connection on the mobo as well, didnt you? |

| 664412 | 2008-04-30 12:34:00 | Yea i've read that...thats why i tried with 4 pins afterwards | EviLClouD (12981) | ||
| 664413 | 2008-04-30 12:43:00 | Since there's only one CPU matching yours in the CPU support list Intel Core™ 2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz 12MB Yorkfield 45nm C1 65W 1333 F2 <-- I take it this is your CPU? F2 above is the BIOS version it needs. That maybe your problem. You dont have version F2, you may have version F1. Altho how can you fnd out? You cant see anything You may have to take it back to the shop, to get them to install another CPU (that version F1) supports to flash it to F2. Then put your CPU back in, and see if it works |

| 664414 | 2008-04-30 12:47:00 | Yep thats the one... | EviLClouD (12981) | ||
| 664415 | 2008-04-30 12:51:00 | I would take it back to the shop, wherever you brought it. There's no way you're going to get it to work without knowing if version F1 or F2 of the BIOS is installed (You need version F2). Since, you cant see anything. Unless F1 or F2 appears on the post screen, before it turns off? The shop will have to install a CPU that version F1 supports, then they'll / you'll have to flash the BIOS to F2 (if F1 is on it), before your system will boot, or do anything. When your CPU is installed |
