Hey, This is my first build and surprise surprise it wont work. Here are my specs:

OCZ 600W StealthXstream
Intel E8400
2GB Patriot PC6400
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4
Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS

I tried solving this for hours and still no avail and then I noticed something strange with the motherboard and PSU. In the PSU instructions, the 2x4 12v and 2x12 main power connectors look like this:

Pin12 XOOXXOOXXOOX Pin1
Pin24 OXXOOXXOOXXO Pin13

where X= square
O = rounded
but on the motherboard its backwards with pin 1 and pin 13 starting on the left hand side and I can't fit them like this. I really don't know what to do anymore and feel like I wasted a whole grand for nothing :confused:
 
cheers for the reply. Erm sorry about that wasnt really thinking, been under a lotta stress lately and cant seem to think proper. Got it working.
So the damn thing boots up but it makes a loud continous beep. any suggestions?
Could it be the GFX card? I haven't plugged in (or know where to plug in) the cable from the power supply but I have connected a molex cable to the motherboard whihc is supposed to power it (me thinks)
