I'm installing a card reader that has 5 wire connector tto the mb. The old card reader has a 7 wire connector that fits the mb. Its an Asus m2n68-vm. Thanks

You can always have choice you know . Now as your ON board Sound card is not working with windows 7 you can buy a Sound card for replacement like of creative and other companies... they would be the best choice at low cost and windows 7 compatible... But before buying it please try updating your driver.

If it's Windows 7 and up alter Bios to boot from Usb install from Flash Disk, use... http://wintoflash.com/home/en/

I understand the problem but you'll need to follow the disconnected wires and find where within your case the other ends are connected too. It's my guess that the wires that have been disconnected run from your from the MB to your case. (Mostly)
To help you find the correct connections open you’re manual to page 2-3 section 2.2.3. If your network card is a PCI card, (White in color slot on the MB), than there are two PCI slots towards the bottom of the MB. There are plenty of wires at the bottom of the MB including the floppy drive data cable, three USB ports, Front panel connector, front audio connector and SPDIF_OUT connector. I suggest you download your manual from Asus. The reason I want you to download your manual is because you will be able to zoom in on the MB so you can see every little detail.
This will help you to see everything on the MB. Download the Asus manual by clicking on the link provided; http://www.asus.com/Search.aspx?SearchKey=P5n-d
You'll also need, Adobe Reader to view the Asus manual. If you do not have Adobe reader installed you can download it at; http://www.adobe.com/ by using the program Adobe, you will be able to zoom in on the layout page mentioned above. You will be able to see exactly where your disconnected wires need to be.
If you still have trouble you can email me at [email protected]

Cheers!

I assume you have an external card reader with a USB connector. If that's the case, you plug the device into an existing and available USB port, either on the front or back of your PC, or side or back of your notebook.
If it's an internal one, then you should find an available power connector from the power supply, and you will probably need to remove a plate in your PC case to install the device.
Regarding the second HD, any connector on the motherboard will usually only accept its own matching connector from the new device.
If your HD is SATA, then you probably need a second data cable, since the power supply comes with two SATA power cables.
It should be connected next to the existing and identical connector for your existing HD, assuming it's also SATA. It the latter it's an IDE type HD, then you should try to find a matching set of connectors (usually two), and attach the data cable to either one. It does not matter which one you choose in this case, since your PC is already booting from the IDE HD and will consider the second HD as additional storage, not as your boot drive.

Robert,

Above is a rough diagram of the Front panel connector on your Motherboard. Your Power LED should connect to pins 1 & 3 if this connection does not have the power LED come on with the PC then reverse which wire you've attached to those two pins. (As LED's are polarized they must have current flow in one particular direction to operate) Pins 11 & 12 are your Hard drive activity connector

Hope this helps you

Hi eibral2345, sorry but there is no chance the motherboard, Asus P5VD2-VM-SE will run the Samsung memory. It’s the old style 3.3V PC133/100 SDRAM. The new Asus motherboard,
P5VD2-VM-SE uses Single-Channel DDR2 - 667MNz or 533MHz memory. Here is a link to the specs of the Asus CUV4X: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=314&page=3
Here are the specs for the Asus P5VD2-VM-SE MB: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1787&l1=3&l2=11&l3=369&l4=0

Will the new Asus board fit in your case? It should!
The larger measurement is the height of the board.
The Height + Width of the new board is smaller than the older board.

Have more questions?
Good luck eibral2345!
Mike

i down loaded drievers please help me.

Did you turn your current graphics card down to 256 colors(more then likely your old video card is built into the motherboard). You have to do that before you install the card or that may be causing your error.
Keep me posted,
Lee

Try going to the Asus website and look for support for your MB drivers and Operating System.

If there is no longer any Win98 support for your MB then I suggest a fresh computer and more recent software for less hassle!
A ten year old OS indicates to me that you might be stuck until you go with the flow!
Cruel but true.
Hopefully the recent cheap prices for computers pre-installed with Vista or XP will persuade you.

The manual is here: http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5S800-VM/e2419_p5s800-vm.pdf I don't see an internal Firewire connector, but you can buy a card for one.
