I AM REALLY WORRIED... I had just finished building it and I followed a tutorial video, when I had connected the VGA cable to the monitor nothing Popped up; I had turned it off and on quite a few times but nothing... WHAT SHOULD I DO!

Is the CPU power cable plugged in?

3

It should be near the top of the motherboard, either a 4- or 6-pin connector.

4

If you mean the cpu heat - sync power connector then yes.

 

5

No, this thing:

6

um... No, Let me see if i can find the cable 

7

I admire your MsPaint skills ;)

8

The 8 pin connector split in half so I connected half and now the computer wont turn on

 

9

WAIT!  I got it... the fans now turn on while the cable is connected but still no video!

10

You mean you connected half of it on your motherboard? If your motherboard HAS an 8 pin connector, use it. If it doesn't it could be a broken cable?

11

The motherboard only had 4 pins but the cable has 8, the side that says CPU was the one I connected.
