I just bought a Corsair GS700 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139024) so i can upgrade my graphics card. Didn't bother with the gpu yet, since when I start up my PC with the Corsair it comes on for one second and then shut off. The old power supply, a Huntkey HK380-12gp, still works fine so I figured either the new psu is faulty or I messed up with the connections. I wanted to ask before screwing around with it more, just to be safe.
I can't figure out what model the motherboard is, but it has a 24 pin slot and then another separate 4 pin, both of which the original psu connects into. Besides that, there's just a couple of sata connectors I need to plug in, which are easy.
The Corsair comes with a 20+4 connector and I'm confused as to whether I should detach it and put it into the separate slots or stick the whole thing into the 24 slot, leave the 4 pin slot on the motherboard empty, or maybe there's another cable with the psu I'm missing? I'm not really an expert and I looked around on the net for some info but I just want to make sure I'm getting this right before I mess something up or needlessly buy anther psu.
Thanks for your time.
