Q:I've just bought myself a new motherboard for my 9800 GT but it isn't picking it up and allowing me to install it's drivers. I have noticed an extra plug on the back of the card and wondered if it maybe needed an extra power plug to it? If not, what else could be the problem?

All 9800 GT cards require additional power source, so each is bundled with a molex to 6-pin adapter, even though all modern PSUs have such cables.

Q:I have an old school Soundstream 500s amplifier(500 Watts) and I want to put it in my 1965 Mustang Coupe. I want to have a small but clean sounding system for the old car, probably with two small subwoofers too. I need to get all new cables for this sound system, so what would be a good power cable for the amp? I need roughly about 25-30 ft. of cable just to be safe and a fuse as well.

Kicker,Tsunami,Memphis, or KnuConceptz. U can get away with 8awg but thats a nice car and u dont want to risk fryin anything so stick with 4awg I really dont recommend 8awg in ANY setup just dont like it, 4awg is perfect and gives u headroom as well, and 0awg wuld be overkill.

Q:i bought a 650w power supply for my pc because i bought a graphic card that needs 550w. So my question is will my regular power cable which came with my computer work on the new 650w power box.P.S- my computer is a 300w

Yes. it is the same cable that comes with every computer, printer, monitor. OK it's the same cable that comes with 95% of them

Q:I have a be quiet! dark power pro 850W. The sleeving is too thick for cable management!! It is a complete mess with the antec 900. its ridiculous as I bought it with cable management in my mind. Can I buy thinner cables on their own? Is there a standard modular fitting size?Thank you.

the capability connectors that plug into the slots on a modular capability furnish are no longer common -- they are particular to that distinctive style of furnish (there is a few standardization for modular PSUs made by a particular producer, yet i does no longer even confirm approximately that). So, in case you opt for further cables, you ought to touch client service on your style of PSU or examine help boards at their internet site to work out what the technique is for paying for them.

Q:I need power cables for my sony laptop

Go search online or maybe buy at your local computer shop :)

Q:I have lost the power cable which came with my computer's PSU and after looking online for a while the online shops seem to sell the power cables with little information about whether or not they will function with different PSUs so I am guessing it doesn't matter which one I buy.

Any three prong power cable will work. You can buy them at Wal-mart, Radio Shack, Best buy. $10 to $15 at the most

Q:I have a monitor which has a input rating of 100-240V and a 1.5A current. But I have a cable which gives out 250V and a 10A current.... The cable plugs into my monitor with no problem and it turns on just fine. But is it fine?

it is fine, the cable doesn't give out anything the 10amp rating is simply the maximum current that it is rated for, at the monitor only draws a maximum 1.5amps this will be 1/10th of the capacity of the power cable

Q:I need a power cable for an XBox 360. where can i buy one?

Q:what cables do i need (besides a power cable) to start playing?

you need the standard a/v cables. If you have a HDTV then you want to buy the HDMI cables

Q:the contant power cables go to my car alarm, led lights, siren, power locks, power windows, and alarm bypass... they are very small thin awg wires... the ignition and constant power cables under ignition housing are alot thicker... is this possible with no problems?

I wouldn't tap into any wires where your alarm is.. If you have any issue, it could arm your alarm, and you might not be able to start your car, until the wiring was fixed...
