the were but arnt now, i have tried running the add new hardware utility but it doesnt pick them up ??????????Comment

I'd check all the connections again but it's possible that the PSU is just being stretched to far and not supplyin' enough for them but what is the rating of it? :?:

its only 230 w but there is power going to them as i can open close and the leds flash on boot up ..... i have checked the connections.
the only thing i can think of is that there is a confliction on the ide controler in device manager, i tried to remove it but it said it was connected to the via contrller but i didnt want to remove thatComment

That I'd say is your prob my friend as it maybe supplyin' voltage but not at the wattage required. Enogh for the BIOS to read the firmware but not enough to power them up enough for Windows to get a full operating ok from them. A good 300w one at least should be on your shopping list before you even think about changin' the CPU. :smokin:

cheers boss, how difficult is it to use 2x psu ???? i have seen it done b4. is as simple as it seems or is it for the proComment
-
No it's not as simple as it seems but if ya use a second one to power ya case fans and lights you'll probably still fall over once ya stuck a T'bird in. Much simpler to just upgrade the one ya have. :smokin:

well after reading that i think i might just buy a 550w psu instead. save turning my pc to toast ay ... !:flames:
One more question if u dont mind ???
i have usb ports on the fromt of my case (which i have connected) and also a headphone jacks and a audio out jack, these have left and right wires but i dont quite know where to connect them on my mobo ????
any ideasComment
-
Very few mobo's have those connections on the motherboard but some soundcards do but most need to be routed from the output jacks at the back of the PC. ;)

You'll probably want to go down to ya local electronics store and get a 3.5mm (1/8") Stereo Plug - Stereo Plug

and cut on end off and work out which wire is which to connect to the front port but then your speakers will need to be plugged into the front as well though you could see if ya can find a "Y" splitter version with the female ends on the double end so ya can leave the speakers at the back still. :smokin:

only problem with that is that there will be a small loss of sound quality and more distortion !!!!
I think i will just leave it as it is for now ...!
