basically I tested the power supply while connected to the hard drive and optical drive and they all worked fine. but the 24 pin connector doesn't fit in at all, even with incredible force. i can put in enough to spin the cpu cooler and psu fans for a split second then it turns off. nothing else works. I do not know what part is in fault or if i simply haven't connected everything, but i can't fully connect the 24 pin connector. any help will be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: I know he connector only goes in one way, it is faulty and will not latch. could my mb be faulty? is the circuit not complete?
