pc starts but without beep!!!

I bought a new graphic card but I needed a wire to install it to. But my power supply didn't have that so I used another power supply but that had 20 pins and my mobo 24 pins. So I bought a converter but it still didn't work. So I installed my old power supply again but now my pc starts without the beep and there is no contact with the monitor. Also these wires (see pic) got loose so I returned them to there places but maybe not in the correct order, is that the problem???



EDIT: ok so now I know its important to have the plugged correct but I need a little help here, these are loose now

powe sw

btw. I didn;t mean to unplugg them.

Hi Chilloh,

Can you post the model and brand of your motherboard? This way everyone can look up your motherboard specifications and hopefully find a diagram that will show you how to place them on there properly again.

my mobo model is 945P-A (v.3.0)

ps. do you think that caused the problem?

chilloh,

It seems like the problem was that you new video card required a 6-pin plug, or PCI Express, from your power supply that it did not have. Sometimes the graphics card will come with a converter for the standard 4-pin molex power plugs, or it will accept the 4-pin plug as an option also.

Of course, you unplugging everything did not help. LOL


You can download a copy of your motherboards manual (PDF file in a ZIP file) here:

ECS Web Site

Starting on page 9 of the manual, you will see how to place the cables properly back on the motherboard.


Hope this helps you,
Shawn

When you have the speaker cable plugged back in make sure the polarity is also correct. This can be found by a small triangle on the positive terminal. This will more than lightly be the orange cable as black is normally ground.

wat is the function of the speaker cable?

To connect the inbuilt speaker in your case to the motherboard

but I have 6-pin plug!

btw do I connect the power supply also in this port??

chillow,

It depends on your video card power requirements. It's usually either one, but not both. If you have the 6-pin plug connected to your video card, than that may be enough. You should be able to determine if you do in your Video cards documentations.
