side should face to the power pin, if it plugged in the wrong
direction, although the card and motherboard is not broken. but
it could affect the proper functioning of motherboard.
Re fe r to " De scription

If it can' t boot the operating system even though the result of the
test is correct, may be the software or disc drive, or disk con troller, or DMA circuit is at fault.
