Hi I have an asus mobo and need to install my graphics card.
its a radeon ati pci-express x850 and has an artic cooler attached.
The problem is there are two power leads but a few of the wires are loose from the white casing and i need to put them back in but not sure what the correct order is.
One of the leads is (space, red, space, yellow) and the other is (black, red, black, yellow) this is the order in the white casing on the power sockets, when the bottom edge is flat and the top edge is triangular - hope you all know what I mean.

Is this the right order can someone please help me out.

ps installed sata II 200Gb drive but only shows up as 186gb is this normal or do I need to make a smaller partition
thanx

only one wire ever came out but I just wanted to make sure, could it be a psu problem.

When the card is plugged in with power connections the computer attemps to come on but only for a mili second.
Take the card out and the computer runs fine.

I have an ASUS s939 mobo and a Q-Tec 400w dual fan ATX 12v

Yor sata drive is fine mate thats normal. Im not entirely sure what you mean with the wiring any chance of a pic? By the way you will get flamed for you Qtek soon as they are not well thought off round these parts as they are known to go pop and kill other components too
