Pc not starting up

[Walty]

Besides the gfx, have u got any other add-on cards that might be loose?

No, I've just got the graphics card. I'll try using a 400W PSU tonight and see what happens.

Take it to someone who knows what they are doing, safest advice

What gives you the impression that I don't know what I'm doing

Well, ppl posting here generally dont know what their doing if they ask for help.

You say your plugging in a 6pin connector..the 6 pins are generally for the gfx cards. If the connector on the board is a 4 pin, use the 4 pin plug. If it is indeed a 6pin, rip out all the parts on the mobo, turn on mobo ( with a pc speaker attached ) no beeps = dead mobo..then start installing the cpu then ram etc.

Is this you're board? http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1252/4/universal_abit_ip35_motherboard/index.html, not sure if maybe you have the Ultra or whatever.

I see in that picture at the top (enlarged) an 8pin CPU power connector not a 6?

OMG, I'm sooo sorry guys I seriously did mean 8-pin. OK so I've got everything working except there's one tiny problem... there's no DISPLAY , I'll try plug some speakers in and see if there's any beebs.

OK well the lights on the keyboard don't come up either so I gather it's a dead motherboard?

beeps are not from the speakers,its the bios notification on the mobo.So the board has its own speaker.
No display sometimes means hdd setup problems.There are many factors that is just one
