The power supply is the box in the top left of the inside of the case with all the wires coming out of it. The sticker with details should be the one to the left of the big yellow sticker on the PSU.
edit: Look at this pic you posted before to see what label I'm talking about.
its inside the case, so if i get to it i will lose you....i think i will just try my luck and try to find where it will go...what am i looking for or what may it look like, there are pictures above
The actual PCI-e connector would be on one of the cables coming out of the power supply (where all the red, yellow, black etc cables are coming from). If you open your case and can't find a 6 or 8 pin connector (like those posted above) note down the make and model of the power supply and post it here.
ya, i think i saw that...i thought it was for something else
im just wondering if i plug it in to a cable that it fits in, but it is also a cable that needs electricity and does not give electricity....now to htink about it, that makes no sense at all
alright. i found a plug in my system very deep into it, looks like they diddnt want it found. it is the exact same plug that my card came with for the power, that i plug into the back, but in the bottom center, it has a conductor point, that my other plug doesnt have...it can also just barely reach, it was in a knot and i had to untie it, so it could reach. does this sound like the plug i need
see the picture, the one on the bottom that i am holding is the one that the card came with
EDIT: i think i am just going to plug it in and hope for the best
whats the worst that can happen (famous last words )
few....so glad i checked here one last time....lets go turn it on, the reason i was wondering is mainly because it was so far hidden, and it barely reaches
alright, when i first did everything, i pressed the power button, and it sounded on, but it would not show anything, a few on and off later, i called the Dell guy, he said try to turn it on again, and it worked
so then i installed new drivers, and it had to be rebooted, same problem, about my 12 try it turned on again, what could the problem be
i want this to be seen in subscribed threads even if they already seen my last post.
i tried out lfs, got all my graphics maxxed out. its beautiful. but every few seconds my screen at the bottom flickres, and horizotal stripes and stuff, and sometimes the whole screen. my aspect ratio is also messed up, lfs thinks i have a widescreen tv, so it is showing me a widescreen picture. i have a resolution of 1360x768 which is kinda widescreen if that makes sense
this happened before and after about a week it fixed itself (i dontt wanna wait a week or longer :shrug
Also in the Catalyst Control Center if you configure your monitor there are some options which can be changed for aspect ratio - related issues.(Configure found in Desktop and Displays -> right click monitor in use -> Configure.)
Hmm so the games still don't work properly.........?
Not a clue mate, sorry. Unless you go into the monitors actual inbuilt options (like you click a menu button or something?). And find something to do with aspect ratios? I dunno really mate sorry.
