TSGL: New PSU - new connectors

[Tilman Brandl]

Hi,

I hope anybody out there can help me:

I've bought a new PSU, the guy there told me it wouldn't be a problem to connect it with my ASRock Mobo ...

Unfortunately I found that the new PSU has other plugs connectors than the one before, where I'm talking about the 2 plugs fitting into the MOBO connectors only:

- The previous 20 pin main plug has become a (I believe) 24-pin plug. I've ignored the additional 4 pins on one side, following the color codes the cabling had on my old and the new PSU. This seems to work fine...

- the previous 4-pin plug has 6-pins now, while my mobo only has the old 4-pin connector, of course. Here the colored wires didn't really help, I've just connected the 4 pins on the left hand side, leaving the additonal 2 pins alone ... like that:

New plug, getting plugged into the mobo connector below ->
from PSU       =             connector-hook
                x    x    x
                x    x    x       
        
to Mobo       _
                o    o
                o    o             old mobo connector    

Only problem that's left apparently is that I can't (soft-)reboot my machine correctly, the reset button doesn't work as expected either. I have no idea, but guess it could be a problem with the above connectors. Any ideas anybody? Otherwise my PC appears to work correctly after a nondestructive repair from CD.

TIA
