No power to 12 volt, Hard drive, or Disk drives.

I install it plug in 20 pin, 12 volt and the three drives, turn on the PC and it will not boot up my drives all it runs is the fans and I need it to run my 7950GT PCI-e x16 card. I have a Foxconn C51GU01 MB which only requires 300W to run... I am at a loss and joensin to try out my new card. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Ok I went over everything.. finally I got sick of it and re-installed my old factory PSU, plugged in my new enermax to my power strip and connected just the 6 pin PCI-e cord to my 7950 GT (no other wires from the enermax are connected to my PC at all). When I turn on my tower I click the enermax switch to the off position and in a couple seconds the enermax and my video card powers up. I talked to a guy from the "Geek Squad" about it and he said that my card should NOT be working nor should my enermax be getting any power to the card. But alas it works and it runs around 57 degrees OC'd of course I have the side panel open because of the PSU I have next to it just to power my card. I don't really understand WTH is up with this thing. My E-mail is [email protected] if you'd like to discuss this in more depth send me an e-mail with an obvious subject heading.

Retrace your steps there may be a loose wire(s). Have you checked and rechecked your pinouts? maybe one of the wires is backwards. Hate when that happens. It could be bad out of box. Try unhooking everything then one by one rehook your components. Maybe by terrible coinsidence a part fried and is preventing the machine from booting. Make sure your CPU fan is plugged in. I am installing a new motherboard now and those are the pitfalls I keep track of.

Fortron ATX 300GTF wanting 2 power the molex connector on this unit for an external disk drive not linked to a computer.cant get power without plugging in or modding the 20 pin power adaptor.

Most new power supplies can only be turned on via motherboard signal. That is why you have to plug in the 20/24 pin connector from PS to mo bo. When operating yellow wire is 12 volts and red is 5 volts DC. And black is ground.

How to retrieve data from a broken laptop.

Most people today with careers on the go have a laptop. With this mobility comes great sacrifice and that's because of the risk of hard disk failure thorough dropping or mishandling. When this happens the only thing on their minds is if they'll ever see their data again. This wouldn't be such a crisis if they recently made a backup but then again how many do. So if your laptop has broken or stopped working then here is what you can do to retrieve the data yourself.<br /> <br /> <u>We're going to assume that the hard drive survived and is still functional.</u><br /> <br /> First of all you're going to need to dismantle the laptop to remove the hard drive. As there are so many different types of laptops out there I can't give you a universal way to dismantle it, if you want the dismantling instructions just type <b>How to dismantle Your laptops model name here laptop</b> for example into Google or Yahoo!<br /> <br /> We want to be able to access the data on the hard drive so you'll need a IDE to USB cable (for older drives) or a SATA to USB cable (for newer drives). This all depends of which connector your laptop's drive has. You'll need a 12 volt source for the hard disk which can be obtained from a molex power cable in the PC.<br /> <br /> Plug the power from your power supply to the required power connector on the drive (normally a molex connector or newer thin power connecor on more recent power supplies that use SATA technology) and then plug the data cable USB into one of your free USB ports and boot up the PC.<br /> <br /> Look around in my computer and you should see the laptop hard disk listed, it should be seen as an external hard disk just like a flash drive when you plug it in. <br /> <br /> Copy over all the files and information that you want recovered to the desktop. Depending on the situation, you may want to format the hard disk, re-install the OS, and then re-use the hard disk.<br /> <br /> When you purchase a new laptop you can then copy the recovered data onto it and there you have it just like before. Remember to make regular back-ups of important files in the future as the hard drive may not always be working if the laptop fails.<br /> <br /> <b><u>This is what a IDE drive looks like, notice the many pins in the IDE connection.</u></b><br /> <img src="slasher_x_26.gif" /> <br /> <b><u>This is what a SATA drive looks like notice the large L shaped data connection and the smaller L shaped power connection.</u></b><br /><img src="slasher_x_52.jpg" />

WD1001fals as slave

SATA Hard Disk as a Slave b> An SATA hard drive is an internal hard drive that connects to your computer's motherboard. It is even possible to connect multiple drives to the same computer; however, only one drive can be the master hard drive; the other(s) must be slave drives. This is because the master drive has the operating system installed and must be used to boot up the system. When installing a new SATA hard drive onto your computer, you must set it as a slave.

Power down your computer and disconnect the cables. Remove the Phillips screws from the exterior of the computer case and slide the case open to expose the interior of your computer. Identify the hard drive at the front of your computer, then slide the new SATA drive in underneath. Insert the smaller power cable into the power port on the side of the SATA hard drive. Follow the power cable running out of the current hard drive and insert it next to it on the motherboard. Pull out the ribbon cable, which has three different connection ports: one on each end of the cable and one in the middle. The connection port on the middle inserts into the slave drive and is slightly different than the other two ends (the pins built into the port are in different locations than the other ends). Insert the middle connection port into the ribbon port on the back end of the SATA hard drive. Plug one of the opposite ends of the cable (doesn't matter which one) into the SATA connection port on the motherboard (your current hard drive is inserted here). Once connected, this completes your slave drive connection. Second SATA 2 Hard Drive as a Slave b> Installing a second hard drive in your desktop PC or notebook is an option used to increase hard disk space without losing or transferring the data from your original hard drive. Using this method not only increases hard disk space, it also increases the virtual memory space for the Windows operating system, increasing operational efficiency. One of the ways in which a BIOS can recognize the second hard drive is to boot it as a slave drive, with the primary hard drive booted as a master drive.

Turn the PC off and remove the desktop chassis. Refer to the pin connector diagram. This is displayed on the sticker, on top of the hard drive, for the position of the slave pin. Place the plastic connector on the slave pin as detailed on the diagram. Connect the hard drive to the power and IDE/SATA cable. Ensure the other ends are connected to the motherboard. Use the screws to mount the drive. Replace the desktop chassis. Turn on the PC. Enter the BIOS, by default this can be done by pressing F2. If this does not work consult your motherboard manual. In the BIOS, press right until the boot device tab is highlighted. Set the slave drive to boot following the primary drive. Read the bottom line and use the relevant key to save the settings. Restart the PC.
Hope it helps.

Trying to change out power supply on a Gateway DX4822-01. Can hear hard drive spinning, but not getting anything on screen. Unplugged it yesterday. Now wondering if one of the 4-pin needs top be...

Trying the easiest solution first - It sounds as if the power is getting to the hard drive, but the information is not getting to the computer.

Is the IDE/SATA cable attached to the hard drive AND the motherboard?

Are the connections tight?

Is one end of the cable reversed - does pin 1 on the hard drive correspond to pin 1 on the motherboard?

Are the jumper settings on the hard drive set properly - Master/Slave/Cable select?

Are you replacing an IDE hard drive (uses a wide thin ribbon cable) with a SATA drive (uses a narrow, fatter cable). Can your motherboard handle a SATA drive? Perhaps you are trying to install the incorrect hard drive?

Want to remove wd2500 drive from HDD enclosure and

OK your hard drive is an ATA drive.
You motherboard will have two hard disk controllers, on the 1st controller the ATA cable will have two connectors - a connector will have the C drive hard disk attached to it and the jumper on the hard drive will be set as the Master drive. You may also have a CD or DVD drive connected to this cable, if so then the CD or DVD drive will be jumpered as a Slave drive.
If the second connector does not have a drive connected, then you can connect the second hard drive to this connector BUT it needs to be jumpered as a Slave drive.
You may elect to connect the second hard drive to the second IDE controller instead on the first controller. If there aren't any drives on the second ATA cable then the second hard drive can be jumpered as either a Master or Slave drive.
If there is a drive on the second ATA cable you need to determine the jumper setting of that drive and then set the jumper on the second hard drive to a different setting. BOTH drives on the same cable CANNOT have the same drive setting.
After installing the second hard drive, check the BIOS configuration of the second hard drive, if the hard drive is detected then when Windows boots up you will see the hard drive and its contents.

NEW BIOSTAR MOTHERBOARD DOES NOT BOOT

Good day sir, let try to test first the power supply, Unplug the power cord, remove the 20 pin (24 pin for the late model) molex power connector from the motherboard, plug in the power cord, get a 2 to 4 inch jumper wire, short the green wire with any of the red or black wire on the molex 20 pin power plug, the result maybe the following:
  1. you will see the power supply fan turn. you power supply is in good order. replug the power supply, and test again.
  2. you will see the fan turn for a few second then stops. you power supply is selective, and may require a different type of motherboard. Get a new one.
  3. you wont see the fan turn at all. get a new one.
If in case you are with #1. uinplug the power cord and remove all the expansion cards, data cables from the hard disk and cd drives. we are trying to isolate the problem. make sure that the only connected cables on the motherboard are as follows:
  1. 20 pin power cable.
  2. 4 pin 12 volt power cable (if applicable)
  3. speaker
  4. power switch
  5. power led
Test the pc once more. plug in the PC. If still the board wont power on. problem with your motherboard. Note:make sure your RAM is good. Hope this helps.

Blank screen on start up

Try removing all cards with the exception of the video. Remove all memory leaving (1) to boot from.
Disconnect power and reset the processor.
If you have a boot disk or copy of XP on disk, try to boot from the CD or DVD.
If the unit boots at all the problem may be the HD.
If not try downloading the BIOS update for your chipset.
Remove all extra drive, like secondary CD or DVD drives, Floppy or Zip drives.
You may have burnt the processor but I don’t think so.
Power supply is OK or you would not power up. Their are 3 or 4 supply voltages from supply, +- 12 volts, +- 5 volts and +-3.3 volts.
You may have a secondary 12 volt 4-pin plug but that is for on board video.
Try a boot disk and flash your BIOS, if you can.
Hope this helps.

Intel D845GBV will not boot into Operating System ,Win XP Pro

Still have that Windows XP Pro full installation disk, that you used for this harddrive?

First:
Make sure all power cables from the power supply are connected.
You have a motherboard, (Intel D845GBV), that has a Socket 478 processor socket, and uses Intel Pentium 4 processors.

Computer Unplugged from power! Touch the metal frame of the computer case to relieve your body of static. Work on a table. IF you get up for any reason, then return, Make Sure you touch the metal frame, BEFORE you reach inside.

1.Make SURE the 4-pin ATX power cable from the power supply, is plugged into the 12 volt ATX connector on the motherboard.

[12 volt ATX connector on motherboard:
Bottom LEFT corner of the processor socket. You are looking at the motherboard with the processor at the top, and the ram slots to the right]

2.Make sure the 40-pin flat ribbon interface cable, is plugged into the harddrive correctly.

There is a faint red stripe along one edge of this flat ribbon cable. The red stripe designates Number 1 pin. (There are 40 pins on the back of the harddrive. [39 actually. One pin is blocked out]

As you view the back of the harddrive, the 4-pin Molex power cable, plugs into the right side. (All the way to the right)
The 40-pin flat ribbon cable plugs in to the left of the power cable.

Number 1 pin of the flat ribbon cable, is next to the power cable connection.

The red stripe, will now be close to the power cable connection on the harddrive, when the flat ribbon cable is plugged in correctly.

3.Make sure the 4-pin Molex power cable is plugged in firmly into the harddrive.

4.Check all power cables to the optical drive/s, and the main power cable to the motherboard.
[20-pin ATX power cable. To the right of the ram slots]
Now, close the computer case, plug the computer back into power, WAIT 1 minute, turn the computer on.

As SOON as the POST screen goes by, start tapping on the F2 key. You are going into BIOS Setup.

You should now be on the main menu in BIOS Setup. You can no longer use your mouse, you have to use your keyboard to get around in BIOS Setup.

At the top you will see headings in the header bar. Maintenance, Main, Advanced, Security, Power, Boot, and Exit.
Use the Right Arrow key and highlight Boot.
Press the Enter key.

Use the Down Arrow key and highlight Boot Device Priority in the drop down submenu. Press the Enter key.

Use the Down Arrow key and highlight ATAPI CD-ROM. Press the Enter key.

Now press the F10 key.
If Yes/No comes up, use the appropriate Side Arrow key, (Left or Right), and highlight YES. Press the Enter key.

IF Y/N comes up, press the y key for YES.
(It isn't a capital Y. The capital Y is shown for clarity. Do Not press the Shift key, and the y key. Just press the y key)
Now press the Enter key.

(F10 is to Save Changes. Y is Yes you want to save changes. The Enter key executes the command)

Your computer will now restart. You need to have that full installation disk in your optical drive. (CD/DVD drive)
Your computer will now boot from the full installation disk in your optical drive.

If your computer goes past booting from the installation disk, because you did not get it in there in time, don't worry.

Just press the CTRL key, ALT key, and DELete key, AT THE SAME TIME. (Not shouting)
This will restart your computer, and it will boot from the Windows full installation disk.
