Also on that motherboard, where the PS plugs into the MB, theres about 4 extra slots left open to be plugged into.

The dots right of the | are the ones that I can't plug into on the ATX plugin slot on the MB.
I'm thinking that's the Intel "extra power" connections for the P4, but am not sure. Normally it isn't adjacent to the main ATX feed.
Tech-Report has an article showing this, check the bottom image on that page, and you'll see the ATX12V connected (where the yellow + black cable is going).

The previoius M/B on here was a AMD motherboard. When windows tries to boot, it crashes. I see a BSOD, but it goes away to quick to read it. the linux partition boots up fine, but I can't get to KDE cause of the PCI-Express Video card.
Enable boot logging, and try and go into safe mode. It's likely due to the wrong chipset drivers.
Boot *nix to "single user mode" and work from there on getting the PCIe card to work.
