Hmmm? Do u men how to install those connectors to ur mobo? Please read the manual instructions for ur mobo. Those small pins at the bottom corner is the place u have to connect those switches and LED lights. Hope that might help u out!

Did you make sure to install the memory starting from DIMM3? You should install into DIMM3 then DIMM2 according to the NF7 manual.

In that case the motherboard itself is faulty replace it..

Look in your bios. It may have been disabled.

You could try searching for the manual for the motherboard, I have the same problem every time I disconnect a motherboard.

Sometimes it is printed on the motherboard in dead small writing which wire goes where.

Also usually motherboard manufacturers follow the "unofficial" standard io connectors.

+PLED -PLED +PSW -PSW NC NC NC NC
+HDD -HDD -RST +RST +SPK NC NC -SPK

Key:

PLED = Power LED/Message LED
HDD = Hard Drive LED
RST = Reset Switch
PSW = Power Switch
SPK = Speaker
NC = Not connected (sometimes not even there)

Note quite often the Reset switch is the reverse of everything else! (i.e. on most if the + is on the right the + is on the left for the Reset

The USB ones usually always follow the following standard

VCC -DATA +DATA GND NC (USB1)
VCC -DATA +DATA GND NC (USB2)

And usually one of the NC pins is no pin as some USB cables have that pin blanked out to ensure you connect them the right way. Note also with USB you start with the VCC then you go straight to negative data, then positive, then ground (again the - and + data bits, like the reset are in reverse of normal reading - the are right to left, not left to right!)

Finally if your not sure which cable is + and which is - the - ones are normally either black or white (most of them are white, except the speaker ones which are black - I presume that goes back to the colour scheme of red and black for positive and negative in audio equipment) and the + ones are normally some colour.

I have read that there are dual memory controllers (duel channel) and that when you use 2GB like that you are using 1 memory controller for each stick. Maybe one of your memory controllers is bad... maybe popped a cap? Sounds like time for a new MB. See this thread...

did you go into the bios and enable the sata for the hard drive and does the bios detect the hard drive by name and size

Try swapping the power supply and as Nitro says also check the cable and connector from the power switch to the mainboard.

If they use the wide ribbon cable, you need the cables with two connectors. Then set on drive to master and one to slave, or set both to CS - for cable select. When you restart the computer, the OS will do the rest.

Hi Klex, I was able to find the website address www.kdsusa.com through one of their products on Newegg, but the site appears to no longer exist. They also had a phone number listed (1-800-283-131) but that too doesn't seem to work. I have the feeling that they have either close their business or ended their operations in the U.S.. Sorry I didn't have better information for you.

did not lose that windows doing that
