All right, so I just put together a new computer (HD and PSU salvaged from my old computer, new mobo/cpu/video card/ram), and when i plug the ethernet cord into the plug on the motherboard, nothing happens. even though the plug has the little catch on the top, there is no click on the port... and i dont get connectivity.
had some issues with USB power too...
i dont have much experience wiring a PSU, so its possible i wired it wrong...
the mobo im using is:
Newegg.com - ASUS P5Q SE/R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
I may have wired it wrong, i was at least able to figure out plugging in all the weird 1-pin connectors for the front power button and such, and the computer runs, i just cant get internet, and some of the USB plugs (or at least they are able to take USB plugs, i dont have a faceplate for the mobo on the back, so its just the female plugs with no metal casing around them, its a verrry sketch looking computer right now, terribly wired, no side panel, no back panels, etc.) dont work...
any ideas?
