I have two ports on my power supply labled pata, and three labled sata. Does it matter which ones i use to hook up power supply? Id like to hook up my gpu directly from the power supply
 
Solution
You have to use 2 x red cables 8 pin to 6 pin PCIe power cables, connected on one end to the red PSU ports and on the other end to the graphics card.
if connect by mistake pata to gpu. how do i recover motherboard MSI PRO H510M-B to start vga?
That should not be possible. Connectors would not fit.
If you somehow managed to force/connect wrong cables and turned on your pc,
then probably some hardware got damaged - PSU, motherboard or PSU (or all together).
Damaged part would need to be replaced.

But on your MSI PRO H510M-B motherboard you need to install a discrete graphics card.
i3-10100F doesn't have integrated GPU. Video outputs on motherboard will not work with this cpu.
