Thanks for the help
 
ok i found out that my psu had 20 pin connector and my mobo is 24 :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

so that is it right? now all i need is an adapter lol
 
An adapter should work, however its generally recommended to use a native 24-pin PSU rather than an adapter, especially if you're planning on OC'ing. Stability will be a lot better, and will be safer too. IIRC, there was a guy who blew up his 6600GT a while back because he was running a 24-pin mobo with a 20pin PSU.
 
ok i got the adapter

and still this happens

the computer turns on says Identifitying IDE Drives for 10 seconds then shuts off. :confused: :mad:
