Hey guys. Just got in a few new parts today, a JetWay JHA06-GT-LF Motherboard, AMD 9600 Phenom 2.3GHz Quad Core CPU, and a Sunbeam PSU-HUSH680-US-BL 680W ATX 12V 2.0 Power Supply. Along with that are some of my old parts I havnt replaced yet. They are: 2 GB Corsair DDR2 800 RAM, Western Digital Caviar WD1200BB 120GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 3.5" Hard Drive , and Sound Blaster Audigy Sound Card. I have all power hooked up, the 24 pin main connector plugged in, but the 12v ATX plug is 2x4, while i have a 2x2. I was told to try putting the 4 pin in it anyway, and it fits in one part. The PC also starts up without it plugged in though. On my mobo is a small LED, and when the 2x2 is plugged in, nothing shows up. When it's not and i start, 'FF' shows up. Does this mean anything? It would also help if I could see anything also. Im getting no video output at all when I start up, and ive tried both VGA and DVI. The video is onboard, ATI Radeon Hd 3200 I believe. Help with anything is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, your system isn't posting you will need the 24 pin atx power connector plugged in and both two 4 pin 12v power connectors they are specifically for cpu power. if both four pin power connectors don't fit get an 8 Pin CPU Extension Cable. Buy 8 Pin CPU Extension Cable*AK-CB8-8-EXT from CCL - Online Retailer of the Year 2008, 2007 & 2006 for laptops, desktops and computer hardware let us know how it goes.
Turns out it was just my mobo shorting out on my case, but I got that all fixed and it boots just fine now. But im having some trouble with my onboard graphics (ATI Radeon HD 3200). It freezes my screen, blacks out for a second, then comes back up with an error window saying "VPU recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands." Then asks me to send error report n stuff. Not sure whats going on, happens randomly every now and then.
try re-installing chipset controller drivers and also remove gpu drivers from device manager and reboot and re-install gpu drivers.
