Problems with 8800GT

[ms4383]

ignore previous post of you've seen it.

when i power up my new rig
(Abit IP35-E (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard, OcUK GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express), 450w Psu)
the 8800 makes a high pitched noise. someone suggested i need to plug in its power socket bbut it doesnt seem to have one, nor is there one on the mobo. can anyone help?

I'm not quite sure what you mean when you mention the mobo.

Aswell as the obvious 24 pin connector:

My 8800GT came with a molex convertor too so you should be good to go.
