I'm afraid I will wear out my welcome here Having figured out my
power supply issue (post below) here is what happened. I powered the pc up and I got the beep code that indicates no VGA . My video card is a 8800 gts and it's in the uppermost blue slot. I checked the connections and now it is emitting a shrill whistling sound. Obviously something is wrong but I thought I'd run it by you guys to see what you make of it? Should I try the black slot?

There is a dangerous connector mentioned. I hope you haven't connected something called "EPS12V 6 pin" to your video card. The video card should have a PCI Express connector with three yellow wires and three black wires. If the color scheme doesn't match that one, then figure out what you've connected. My assumption is we're talking about sst-st60f. http://www.silverstonetek.com/downloads/st60fmanual.pdf The whistling sound means something is not right, as you surmise. I would switch back to the other supply, as it may have a safer set of connectors. If you look at the reviews on Newegg for the ST60F, they aren't very good - the supply doesn't last. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817163109 I'm still going through the manual, to see if I can make sense of the wiring pattern used. As you'd expect 12V1 and 12V2 are on the 2x4 EPS12V connector, which is fine if you're going to split the connector into two 2x2 pieces. The supply also has a weird minimum loading spec for the 5V rail, based on the current load on the 12V rail. Which suggests the thing is not independent. Maybe the 5V and 12V are on the same output transformer ? But right now, I'm most worried about that "EPS12V 6 pin" thing. Paul |

Gary Just attach the correct 6 pin connecter to the graphics card thats it!! roach |
