Hi ive just put my new rig together, it was my first time and so far this is the only problem i have run into
I have a gigabyte 970a ud3 motheroard and amd fx6300 and a 530w be quiet l7 psu
my pc seems to be working okay now but im not sure if im doing the right thing, I put everything together last night and got a bit confused when i fond the 12v power plug near the cpu is 8 pin, coming out of my psu is 2 4 pin plugs for this 1 labeld CPU 1 P4 & the other labeld CPU 2 P8, after doing a bit of reading around i decied i should put both of these plugs in, they do both fit but it is very very tight,
once everything was wired up i went to turn the pc on the first time and got nothing, i tried a few more times still nothing, so first i checked all my wiring to the power switch etc... that was all fine, then i imeditley went to the CPU plugs as these were the only thing that had caused me confusion first i remoed the top plug witch was at the time CPU 2 P8 witch is in pins 3,4,7,8 still nothing so i took the bottom one out and placed it in the top plug.... then i had power fans everything, and the pc posted just fine..... i havent touched it since then.... can anybody tell me why this is ? am i supposed to have both plugs in, from what i read last night it says i am ?
would really appriciate any advice on this.
Also can i just confirm my pc is POSTing sucesfully,
when i turn it on i get the gigabyte screen, then a page that flashes so quickly that I cant read anything then a page telling me its trying to boot from cd rom but fails as there is nothing in there.
is this correct ?
thanks in advance
Chris
