Obviously make certain they're plugged in and actually making a connection
first. Hit Del (or whatever) and look in the BIOS; see if it sees them, and
that they are
enabled. If not you have a hardware problem and yes, you're going to need a
new MoBo, unless you can actually see what the problem is.
