Just got mine and put in, I havent put the 4 pin floppy power cables into motherboard by graphics card slots. Put grphics card into slot 1 (top one)

I dont get an image on the monitor,the LED displays on board are showing C1. Whats wrong? Do I have to put floppy cable onto motherboard to give a bit more power? Can I put my gfx card into slot 2 (still a 16X speed one)? Im using a 7300GT at the min while waiting for a 8800 GTX. Any ideas why not working?

Cheers

Boot with one stick of ram. If that works go into the BIOS and set the correct memory voltage.

Wont boot with just 1 stick. I have OCZ Alpha PC8000. I dont have any other sticks, do I need to go pinch some off a mate to boot it up?

yes, your alpha's might need higher volts? try some other stick/s if u can borrow some.

Will go to uncles soon and steal his. Alphas need 2.3V!

Does anyone connect power to these 4 pin floppy pins on gfx slots? Do i need to even with a GTX? or do you only need to for crossfire? Why are they there?

I would like to know that as well. I am running stable, with a good overclock, and I don't use them.
