Wait so I downloaded the disk that came with the motherboard. It comes with Chipsets/Serial ATA/ RAID Network/ Audio Drivers, Norton, and Adobe Acrobat Reader. Do I still need that driver you linked me?

Haha it's okay, I got the right one. I realized after I posted that, that it was a stupid thing to ask. I just searched my card, and clicked download drivers. Seems to work. I'm going to try to install Oblivion tonight and see how it looks.

I am currently posting this message on my new computer! Yay! So I downloaded the disk that came with the motherboard, and it was basically Norton Security I think. So I go to download the disk that the Video Card came with, and it doesn't run. So I go onto the ATI Cataclyst or w/e, and it...

Alright I found the little sticker on the RAM case. Now where do I enter all this? Can't find anything on RAM in BIOS except in this MB Intelligent Tweaker. Edit: Do I switch something to manual instead of auto? Edit again: On the sticker it was 9-9-9-24 and thats what it's listed in my...

Hmm. I can't see where this would be on the packaging that came with the RAM. What would that be listed as? And I was watching some video on how to set up BIOS, and the guy in it switched some 'IDE' to 'RAID'. What is that?

I pretty sure he got it working from the card, but I have no idea how he did it. He said he just kinda tinkered with with it.

Alright so what all do I need to do in BIOS? Set the First Boot Device to the CD Drive, and the second to the Hard Disk. What should I do after that?

My dad fixed it while I was at school everyone. Monitor works. Is there any way to get into BIOS after windows installs...?

Hahahaha. Well I'm still telling you I didn't. You're right though, I'm wording it incorrectly. Okay lets try this again. After I plugged the wire into the 8-pin port, and turned it on, after 3 seconds, it shut off. There. Alright well I'm done trying to find a solution today. Hopefully I can...

Do you have an Acer monitor for your desktop? Looks just like mine.

Oh wow well I'm an idiot. I thought I fried my motherboard, but I just did something really stupid and I'm not going to post what it is. Computer turns on fine now. Anyway... I think the problem may be that I need a bigger power supply. When I plugged that one wire into the thing (which I now...

Ok thank goodness. But I mean, come on. All of the sudden, right when I plug this new wire in, my system shuts off and doesn't work? How could it not have anything to do with that? Idk, I'll look over the system again, make sure everything is plugged in, fix the ram if it needs to be fixed. My...

I hope to god that the shut off was caused by another factor. The wire fit into the thing correctly then, because it clicked in. Why didn't you tell me it was supposed to have only 2 wires? It has more than that, but they are all black and yellow. I think I ****ed up. Hopefully the warranty is...

No haha I'm not that stupid. I plugged it in, turned on the power supply, and turned on the system. Then after about 3 seconds it shut off, and then it wouldn't turn back on. I'm paralyzed with fear even to go near it.

Tried it, and it isn't working either. I plugged the wire into the 8-pin slot and my system shut off and isn't turning on. Oh god.

There is only one 8 pin wire left, so that must be it right? If I connect that it might work. Also, how to I connect my monitor to onboard video output? Is that the one on the motherboard?

I had a feeling I might have plugged my ram in wrong. The manual said to plug 2 sticks in DDR3_1 and DDR3_2 I think, but I'm going to re check. As for the graphics card in the wrong spot, that could also be the problem as well. I'll go check later today or tomorrow. Well I think theres only...

Well, theres really no way to plug it in without the adapter. And yes, when I turn it on the fan on the graphics card is spinning. Everything seems functional. Heres some pictures. Sorry about size and blurryness.

I'll get some pictures in a second. Define making sound. It sounds like the system is on, it's just very quiet compared to my loud ass computers. I'll do a check on all the wiring too. Edit: I tried it with my brothers monitor as well. Still, nothing.

I got this monitor maybe... 2 years ago. It's not that old. There's no way I can buy a new one. I'm not really sure what I can do now. Edit: Is it possible that I need a new power supply with more watts? Mines 650.
