please help

[.:Blindfaith:.]

So got my shiny newstuff today

XFX 6970

and Corsair 750w psu

I have it all pluged wired correctly yet...

when i fire her up the fans start up and stay at a lazy pace

nothing else happens



i do suspect it is a 4pin conector on the mobo
(it has nothing plugged into it)

but im new at this and have no idea...

help me guys please

guess i have got the wrong psu perhaps there is an adapter if this is the case

 

[.:Blindfaith:.]

im upgrading a "world" pc so not really sure

it is an ipowerX3.0 pakard bell

the Corsair HX750w has an 8pin


so yer my bad...

is thereno adapter i can buy or am i stuffed now

 

[.:Blindfaith:.]

Well Fuuu just noticed the gpu does not come with a hdmi cable

Oh and it stil wont switch on properly

yes it is switched on

Yep was working fine before hand

and no my vga cable does not fit it at all

both ports are dvi so shop is a must

 

[.:Blindfaith:.]

no the XFX 6970 came with nothing but the gpu and driver disk - bridge

just got back with dvi - vga adapter

im going totake it all out again start fresh

then if nothing is better

/cry

ok so here is the deal...

I have been here for a while now wires every where stressing
swearing been to the shop twice now for diffrent "bits"
taxi fare got drenched in rain and still no luck...


I come home from getting the dvi to vga adapter take everything out
check it all over w/e

suddenly i notice i had the old psu cable pluged in to the corsair
that cable was not pluged into a mains socket .

i expect lols a load

needless to say put it all back together now and its working a charm

Thank you and ave a good evening!
