If you're PC is not loading then you have other issues. Check to make sure all your connections to drives are not loose. Are you getting any message or beeping sounds when trying to load?

Sound cards are almost useless depending on how old your motherboard is. I don't use one because I know my onboard is better than 80% of the sound cards you can get, the only benefit from a sound card is if it has a built in dac unless your mobo has it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closely at the connector ends attached to the front panel of your case, they will identify which one is pwr, etc and is + or -. Now look at your board and beside the bottom row of 3 SATA ports, you should see a set of pins, 8 to 10 of them, labelled 'Panel'. The panel connectors will go here, just look for pwr +, pwr -, hdd, etc. whatever you have coming off of your front panel. Just connect them to the correct pin. Hope this helps.

If you did , well take the motherboard out of the case and try it , no sound card, just the PS, and video card and one stick of ram , and see if you can enter the bios . then add your hard drive and try it , continue to add each piece till you find the problem one , If it doesn't boot to the bios with minimal components, then it's either the MB or PS.
