Problem installing psu for the first time
Options

05-09-2013 1:45pm#1Hi,
My old PSU died, so I installed a new one, this was my first time doing this. The power is working now, but the PC isn't booting up properly. I took photos of the old PSU connections before I took it out, and then put in the new PSU and thought I put them back in the correct places, but the PC still isn't booting up correctly. I redid it making sure that all connections are in place. It's a windows 7 and boots up as far as ACHI drive (?) INIT then all that happens is I get a blank screen with the cursor in the top left corner.
Any ideas on what I've done wrong and how to fix it?
I have attached before and after photos below.

Any help appreciated.
When most of us say "social justice" we mean equality under the law opposition to prejudice, discrimination and equal opportunities for all. When Social Justice Activists say "social justice" they mean an emphasis on group identity over the rights of the individual, a rejection of social liberalism, and the assumption that unequal outcomes are always evidence of structural inequalities.

Im trying to digest what that multicolored card of yours is?
The first pic: is that 5.25" drive getting a SATA power connection?
Pics 5-7, the MoBo 4-pin is seated properly?
The fishy looking one here is Picture 3:
Why does your 24-pin connector only have 20-pins?
Have a read of this: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-specifications-atx-reference,3061-7.html either you PSU might have a loose 4-pin power lead hanging out, that you can stick in that spot (unlikely, and frankly I wouldnt play with it) Or you bought a lower end PSU that only has the 20-pin ATX connector, and your board is looking for the 24-pin. I wouldn't try to move the 4-pin 12v into that spot (not that it will probably fit). Ive never had this problem before so frankly this is a smidge of guesswork on my part. Frankly I'd go source a different PSU which clearly defines having the 4-pin 12V and the 24-pin ATX
