power supply problems

[isaacual69]

i ordered a case with a power supply...i have a amd xp 2100+ and ac37 motherboard...when i plug in this power supply unit (psu) it runs all fans but nothing else cant even eject dvd rom,,,when i plug in my original psu it works fine...when i plug the new psu into my other computer which has a intil pentium 4 it works fine..the board for my amd does not have a p4 connector, the intel does///would this make a difference..i wouldnt think so cause my original psu also has a p4 connector which i dont use...is there psu that are compatible with certain types of boards like for amd and athlon..?

Are you sure you connected all the Molex cables too?

of course

i connected the ones that i were using( those are the ones connecting to the ide devices, right)

p4 suppleis have an extra cable or two to provide extra power..and there could be a chance that this is disrupting the AMD board, excecialy as its an old one..

Your having problems because it's a cheap power supply.
