Hey Everyone,

Im having a problem and I'm starting to get anoyed because I want to try my new graphics card.

Basicly, Ive plugged my graphics card into my machine, and now the instructions want me to link the graphics card up to my hard drive and my power supply, although I already have something coming out of my hard drive which links up to my power supply and A drive.

Also my power supply is surrounded by a huge metal box lol.

can somebody PLEASE :whistling: me! im confused and have no idea what to do!

Also I wanted to know if I have ot link the card to both my hard drive and power supply

Below is a picture of the little instruction thing that came with the graphics card.

hmm.....ive never seen a grapics card take a power cord, it does not matter what cord goes in it just the same cord that plugs in to like a harddrive, flopy drive, or cdrom, not that exact one, you make it sound like you either A) Are trying to take you power cord from your harddrive to your graphics card.
OR
B) have only 2 power cord coming out.

It would be nice if you could take a picture of your computer inside and post it, then i would know what ur talking about so im not like this :whistling: he he


Thanks Nic, Yes only 12 but smart
