I just bought a new barbone kit and as a first time comp builder,
Intel D945GCPE Socket 775 Barebone Kit - Ultra Micro Fly BX6 Black Aluminum MicroATX Case, Clear Sides, 600 Watt XVS Power Supply
Mother Board Features
Features include dual-channel DDR2 667/533 MHz SDRAM, Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (Intel® GMA 950), integrated 10/100 Network Connection, Intel® High Definition Audio (4 channel audio) and up to eight USB 2.0 ports.
- Chipset: Intel 945GC Express
- Front Side Bus: 533/800/1066MHz
- Processor Interface: Socket 775
I tried putting this together. I have a 6 pin male plug from the power source and the larger plug that I placed into the motherboard. The motherboard only has a 4 pin right next to the processor. I did not plugg that in. I proceeded to plug in my sata hard drive and put in my processor and fan. I than connect my usb, audio and firewire plugs. I plugg in the power to power source and to the dvd burner. I plug in the led, power, reset and all that. The problem lies with the dvd drive. I plug in the ide and there is no power. I unplug the ide leaving the power and the light comes on and it ejects just fine. Plug back and now no power to drive. Please help I dont know if the 6 pin power source not plugged to the 4 pin motherboard could be the problem or what. What can I do?
