Here is his mobo

His psu that came with his case doesn't have an 8 pin plug for the 8 pin spot, would that cause the error were getting? Which is everything fires up but theres a red mobo light on and his monitor says no data

That is additional power for your VID card. My ASUS has this plug. When I use it my computer wont boot. But you say it's a 8 pin plug isn't it a standard 4 pin Molex plug like for your hard drive. The picture is dark but that is what it looks like.

The one with the arrow is but his vid card doesn't have that for some reason, I didn'tknwo some didn't

But ignore the yellow arrow im talking about the 8 prong 12v one near the left side

Sorry here I fixed it

That is the CPU power connector. You need to use this to get power to your CPU. You can use a 4 pin plug or 8 pin plug as described on page 6.1 in your motherboard manual. It will show you this.
