I have just swapped a graphics card and psu from one pc to another, just because i am changing the roles of each machine.
In doing so i have plugged in a 3 day old, XFX HD 4890 black edition.
This card has two power connectors, an 8 pin and a six pin. It comes with a 2x molex to 6 pin adapter, so that is what i used.
When connecting that adapter, i had problems getting th stupid sh1tty molex connectors to fit together (they are SUCH a crap design!! ).
After connecting it all up and powering on my machine, no POST beep. All lights on on mboard, all lights on on gfx card, all fans at full speed...... removed the graphics card completely (no onboard video) no bios beeps, cannot get the machine to do anything
I have a very bad feeling that i may have pulled one of the wires out of the molex plug and not put it back in the correct hole......
I might have just fried my gfx card, motherboard and cpu.....
1. PLEASE can someone let me know the CORRECT configuration of one of these 2x molex to 6 pin PCI-E adapters as soon as possible.
2. Is the behaviour of my machine (fans full speed etc.) indicative of what i suspect?
