Odd Problem Need Diagnositc

[Compdude2008]

Hey everyone,
Just signed up here, and I have a little problem someone can hopefully help me with. I have built my own computer but I am having some problems with it.

Computer Hardware:

Powermax BIO II Black ATX (case)

OPS: Windows XP

660 ATX OKIA (power supply)

ASUS P5N32-SLI-Deluxe (motherboard-socket 775)

Inel Pentium 4 Extream (CPU)
-CPU Fan
Kingston Ram
- 2 sticks dual channel (2gb)
- 1 stick (2gb)

Fujitsu 30gb (hard drive)

ATI Radeon X1650 Pro (Video Card, PCI-E)

Linksys g-card (wireless card)

CD Rom Drive

Problem: I have everything in my case and ready to go and I plug in all my stuff and turn on the power. The only thing that turns on is my CPU fan.

Possible Solution: My motherboard only has a 8pin (12v) connector where as my power supply only has a 4pin power connector. So I am making the assumption that the motherboard will not function with out the 8 pin (12v) plugged in.

Also I found a converter for a 8pin (12v) connector and possibly that will fix my problem? Thanks for your help and I hope to get this resolved soon!

More than likely you will have to have the 4-pin to 8-pin adapter.

As for general diagnostics:

does your CPU fan stay on or does it turn on and then turn back off?

did you make sure to screw in the brass standoffs in your case before putting in your mobo?

any lights come on?

try turning it on with only 1 of the RAM sticks in. Alternate each RAM stick.

lets see, The Cpu fan only spins and then turns off, I'm thinking most likely my motherboard has a safty feature that requires the 8pin connector to be in. Also I have the 660Watt powersupply and the lights it has inside it only flash when they are suppost to stay steady.

Also the green indicator light on the bottom of my motherboard below my pci-e slots comes on incdicating that it is getten power so I'm really guessing the only problem is, would be the 8pin.
