Asus P5K-E query

Wondering about the ATX connectors on the board up beside the CPU. I only have one 4 pin connection fitted at the minute and a black cap over the other. However I can't get my system to boot when I install the nvidia drivers for my 8800GTS, I'm not sure if this is power related.

Do I need to put the extra 4 pin lead in where the black cap is?

According to the manual it says "Use only either a 4 pin ATX 12v or 8pin EPS +12v power plug for the EATX12V connector"

Don't want to go ahead and use both 4 pin connectors in case I blow something so checking here first.

If you have an 8 pin (4 x 2) plug then definately use.

Cheers for the quick reply Cob. Lol, just seen your in Portrush, if you hear a bang down the road towards Belfast you know what it is.

Well didn't do any harm but unfortunately I still can't get Vista to start whenever I install drivers for my graphics card. Thought that might have been what the problem was.
