As you look at that first pic the 4pin sockets is just to the left of the cpu heat sink. The cables your showing appear to be for the GPU, as said above, the ones you are looking for could be 8 pin which split into two fours. The plastic connectors are keyed anyways, so you can only fit in the correct one0 -

Right it's running on the box. What's my next move. Thanks.
Figure out where the short is
Are you using rubber washers on the screws holding in the main board?
Is there anything sticking up (like a main board mounting riser) that's shorting the back of the board?
Ah! The fun of building PCs.
Afraid I'm leaving you too this one just wanted to hear it was running - beddy byes time for me. Thanks for updating!0 -
Thanks for all your help. I'm using washers yes. I'll have to see what the hell is shorting it. I have all the power, reset and leds back on and it's stiill going. One step at a time i guess.MarkAnthony wrote: »Figure out where the short is

Well I have it running. there's one particular cable that's shorting it, for the case fan. Turns out it's running without it being connected to the motherboard( connected directly to power suppply). have installed my windows 7 from reddit and for f##k sake no internet connection now. I've had enough for one day anyway. Young mans game this!:D
I took CHA FAN 1 to mean chassis fan I must be wrong on that.0 -

I got that fan sorted. I had already power going to it direct from the power supply, so when I connected it to the motherboard as well it kept shorting. You do strange things when you are tired and frustrated. Anyway I'm posting from that PC now even though after installing windows (Reddit for $20 ,works fine and key validated) Windows update downloaded 200+ updates and kept freezing at ."failure configuring windows updates reverting changes". Luckily I created a restore point when I had installed all the drivers and utilities off the motherboard CD. Just the graphics card to go now but I'm going to let the system run for a day or two before I install it to make sure it's all nice and stable. (and to stop me from going insane)
Thanks to all who offered assistance , a special mention to MarkAnthony and Digital solitude for their patience and understanding.;)
Nice
As regards windows updates, try manually deselecting some and installing them in groups to weed out conflicting updates. 200 is a lot to do at the same time! 0 -

Aye I reckon you're bang on the money there. 10 to 15 at a time seems to be the way to go. Not a great man for these constant updates anyway although some would swear by them. I put the graphics card in yesterday and all's good. The lad has it in his room now so that's the last I'll see of it(unless there's a problem) If I've learned anything from this build is there come's a time when you should just take a break or walk away as even the most obvious solution wont come to you. Again thanks to all who helped......;)0 -
