[orange wolf]

I recently got a new power supply, I've plugged it into the motherboard and drives, it's not getting any error beeps and it's running, but there's nothin is happening up on the monitor, can anyone help me out, ask any information needed. I'll gave a 60$ game on steam to any person who gives me the info to get it working.

If the graphics card requires a power hookup to it then make sure it's plugged into it. Check wires, etc..

Make sure the CPU power thing is plugged in. It'll either be a 4pin or 8 pin that'll look like this. http://www.hls-systems.com/images/HLS-P4-D865PERL/DSCN4983.JPG or similar.

I did forget the pci express connector, lol but that hasn't fixed it.

Thanks for the help guys I'm still really friggen new to this and didn't want to pay 200$ + for a overpriced repair I can learn to do myself.

You could have just asked in the megathread before you bought your psu if everything would be compatible

for the 8-pin motherboard supply i only put in one 4-pin plug because i didn't have an equivalent 8-pin plug but my computer works fine regardless
weird

Honestly  thought as long as it had enough volts I was good but from the sound of this:

I don't think an upgraded PSU is going to help me anyways but we'll see when I get back.
