Mother Board Trouble
I have just finished my first build. BIOS and the operating system worked fine. So did the motherboard driver. When I tired loading the MSI cd to my 8800 video card nothing happened. When we tried doing it through a wizard it was unable to detect the motherboard. Then when we checked device manager we found the computer was using the build in motherboard instead of MSI even the it was connected through the MSI. We went to bios to tell it to boot through the PCI e first but it still did not work. The other peculiarity is that the instructions say there is a 6 pin powersupply for the card but I can't find one on it. Does it look like a normal six pin? I have no idea if is a physical or software problem. The last thing is I am running xp 64.

Any help would be appreciated!!!
