assembling my new system...

pentium d 930
asus p5ld2 deluxe
antec p180 case
ocz modstream 520 power supply


Seems a power cable is to short to reach the top of the mobo. A four pin
plug to the top left hand corner (eatx12v) pg 2-33 of the mobo manual. or
am I missing something/ not doing it right. Anyone else w/ experience with
this or something similiar.

rather rusty at putting things together....

thanks for nay help

Was sure I had everything hooked up right. one cable was a bit of a stretch
but it just reached(ocz520 modstream psu barely makes there cables long
enough for the antec p180 case)
everything seems to be hooked up and in the right spot for the mobo (24 pin
power plug) and one to the top left corner of mobo, the pci-e power to
video was hooked up.

had it set up on the table(not in case) and had a vocal post with out ram
one long two short beeps...hard drive and dvdrw were not hooked up at this
time either. that code isn't in the mobo manual. put in ram and no post,
and blank monitor. everything has power though near as I can tell. all
fans spinning and led in corner of mobo is lit

Will try a piece by piece again once kids are asleep and out of the way
(lot less stress :) )
Been reading here and there that others are having bios problems with these
boards and reding the 9xx dual core cpu's and a possible fix is to flash
bios BUT doesn't do me a lot of good as I have no spare parts that fit the
new system other than a pci sound card other parts are for a P166, way to
ancient to even look at.

any input apprecciated.........
