Blank screen on startup with new rig

Is your motherboard the abit ip35-e? As there is not a abit ip353 motherboard, if you tell me what it is I will be able to find a photo of it and circle using paint what the connection is I'm talking about exactly.

Edit: Looking at the IP35-E there is a 8 pin hole where I'm talking about in the top left next to your cooler, stick one of those cables into that - they have little shapes on the end of the leads, so they can only go in one way - don't force them in, prepare it and make sure you get it right before you do anything :P
