Problem at boot

Thanks already for just reading my post. I have dismounted my entire computer (in vain actually).
Anyway when i was bulding it back together, i tryed my best and consulted many people and foruns to do it right, but i didnīt make it right. Everytime i boot it, it frist show my grafic card description and then freezes on the motherboard brand and site.If i plug the monitor on board it wonīt even show any image at all.
To solve this issue iīve tryed to change the plugs of the hard drives with the drives of dvd, tryed pluging and unpluging the video card as well as the memory cards, i also tryed to find out any empty slots on mother board but i found none although i found one plug similiar to the smaller 4 pine plug that links the power suply to the mother board.
If anybody knows any forum or website where i can find an answer to my problem OR knows the answer or knows something i havenīt tryed and could work please post it.
Thanks for reading my post even if you canīt help .

Re: Problem at boot

is the empty plug you found a 4 pin square, somewhere near the CPU? If so, it needs power, there will be a matching connector with 2 yellow and 2 blacks off the power supply.
