When you say won't boot up do you mean won't power up? One of the wires may be the power on switch and the computer will not start without it, the other wires are not vital and are not needed to boot up. Check the motherboard manual for were the wires go.

You should be able to figure out were the power switch wire goes to. The wire has two connectors and it does not matter which way around it is fitted the wire should be marked power and is fitted to a 18 way (more or less) connector on the motherboard, again this should be marked were to fit the wire in very small writing. Don't be afraid to experiment you should not be able to damage the motherboard if you plug the switch into the wrong place providing you are fitting it to the right 18 way connector. The other wires are probably the power LED and the hard drive LED which matter which way around they are fitted, again experiment fitting them until you get the desired result.

Alternatively look at the motherboard and see if you can see the motherboard number, then look it up on the internet.

Hi tks for all your help. I installed all the wires in the right place but it made no different. so i will be getting a new computer and i think the m/b is dead.

While you may not be able to fix your computer I am sure that a computer repair establishment will be able to fix it for not much money, as probably the motherboard is not faulty.
