The ones with bigger black sockets i dont know about.

These look like additional plugs coming from your PSU. These would be used if you added another hard drive, cd drive, etc to your computer.

Does the blue orange white red one with black socket connect to 1 of them yellow boxes? As that cable is for USB? Maybe it has a wire for the power button to?

Which model Advent, and what is the make AND model of the motherboard? It would be easier to help if I could get a better picture of what we're working with.

I can't tell what these plugs are just by the colors. Can you tell me where they are connected to? Trace them back to the source and see whether they're connected to your hard drive, disc drive, floppy drive, power source, or whatever.
