built new pc using bottom positioned power supply ,having built it found that the 4 pin square atx power cord isnt long enough as its positioned infront of cpu , why wasnt this factored in the design as most psu supplys have same length cords , ive now emailed the case manu , the p;su seller and you , no one wants to accept this failure to communicate whos at fault , cant you position this 4 pin 12 volt atx connector closer to the 24 pin connector as the extra 4 pin atx cord is integrated into the cord for the 24 pin board connector , isnt their any design standards for cases psu and motherbaords , now cant complate this new wslf build til new year as need extension cord for the atx 12 v 4 min square connector and everywhere is closed , even ebay shops cant supply till aft 2nd jan , used asrock boards for over 15 years since the dual sata 939 my first amd build , all intel til then , now im amd only and asrock builder , every couple years to keep up for gaming builds thnks |

Cheap PSU, short cables..... The connector is for CPU power and is positioned close to the CPU's power circuitry for a reason. If there is fault it is on the part of the PSU manufacturer and is one of the reasons I never buy cheap PSUs anymore (not for over a decade). In the end it just isn't worth it, you end up having to replace it in less than a year and if you are very unlucky it takes out something else when it dies. If memory serves, some early motherboards that first used the extra 4/8 pin connector tried positioning them nearer the 24pin but it resulted in issues with power delivery and instability. I believe you can purchase extension cables for most connectors from the PSU these days. [edit] Cheaper PSUs are also designed for cheaper cases that still have the power supply at the top of the case, in this situation the short cables are more than long enough. I am guessing your PSU needs to go at the bottom of the case.

I still have my old ASRock K7VT6-C, it still works but a single core Athlon XP isn't really good for anything other than a very basic linux box anymore   About 11 years old now. Still love that RAM, pity it's only 1gb

You must have a LAN cable connected to the LAN port as well as an active device on the other end. If the lights come on then the board is getting power. If not then the power is not getting to the board, check the PSU is connected correctly and if possible try another. if the PSU is OK then the board is most likely dead. -------------

" rel="nofollow - Not that I am aware of no. If you are having lock ups and you are sure the drive/s are good then you should try replacing cables, change the power connector as well as different SATA ports from the board. Is this a new problem or a recent development? Also a list of your system specs, including power supply brand and model would be most helpful. -------------

I moved Xaltars post to here and deleted your new Topic, ie: 1TB issues, seeings he was asking of your hardware. Too, please refrain from creating duplicate posts/threads. It helps us Moderators immensely having what we need in one place/Thread. wardog, Moderator |

You must have d/l the incorrect All-In-One Chipset Driver installer. These All-In-Oned Chiipset(not Graphics) drivers MUST be installed and likely missing by your description and now that question. Below are links to the latest chipset drivers for Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, and Windows 10. The links are each for the x86 or x64 Windows version you have. If you need help determining what version you have, please ask first before installing a possible incorrect one. 32Bit x86 http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows+10+-+32 64bit X64 http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows+10+-+64 Please post back the results. |

" rel="nofollow - Yes it is. Go here to get the OEM/Tray number as that's how most MB manufacturers list them in their CPU Support List http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X4%20965%20Black%20Edition%20-%20HDZ965FBK4DGM%20(HDZ965FBGMBOX).html
Then to the MB's CPU Support List http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/980DE3U3S3%20R2.0/?cat=CPU
Too, the x4 965BE functions on all BIOS revisions. |

980de3us3 seems a good mb if slightly older then the newer ryzen am4 releases , but on a budget i think its really good and 8core fx compatibillity , ok it wont take the am3+ 9 series but sub £60 its a great bargain , im an asrock fan for 10+ years starting with the 939sata2 board in 2004 -05 , hope the 980de3us3 board works well with the fx 6300 cpu still waiting to fit ... |

Check my reply to the PM you sent me. IMO you should be looking at purchasing a new PSU that has a native 8-pin ATX12V1 connector. That you now have a PSU that only has the 4-pin ATX12V1 connector says it's either a very inexpensive yet new psu, or it's and older model. |
