Solve : Motherboard installation questions?

Answer»

Just bought a asus p4v8x-mx so replace my faulty p4s800. I unhooked the p4s800 and connected the videocard, ram, cpu, cpu fan, and everything correctly. But I cant find a plugin for the CHA_FAN and i am lost on the system PANEL connector PART (many small plugs at the bottom right of board). The motherboard came with the board, a wire to hook up floppy to mobo, a wire to hook hd to mobo and serial ATA connectors. The many small wires I had that were connected to the old mobo was the only option for me to connect to this mobo. i tried to follow the instruction that shows where to PLUG in the PLED (pled+ and pled-), ide_led (+5v and ideled) and the other stuff. I tried my best and started the comp up and it seemed fine. I got a blue screen saying i have hardware problems so i figured that i need to format my hd since its a new motherboard. Im currently formatting it right now, hopefully after it formats it loads xp PROPERLY and doest give me more hardware issue blue screens.

Heres a summary of my problem
no CHA_FAN connector
confused about the 20 pin system panel connector (so far it seems LIKE i connected it properly but ill know for sure if my format works and the comp runs normally)

ill update when it finishes format, pray for me May the force be with you. Okay it is fixed. Now the only problem is I am not sure I connected the motherboard properly, i have no connection to the CHA_FAN, is that okay?
