So I have had this old PC minus the case/ps sitting around for a year or so (packed in anti-static bags). It was in working order previously, but then I took it apart to ship when moving overseas. I finally got round to getting a power supply and case and tried to get the thing up and running.
When connecting all the wires up, I initially missed out the 4-pin ATX 12V power connection. When I tried to boot I got the LED on and fans spinning but no sounds, no boot.
I went back to the manual and saw the missing 4-pin ATX. Unfortunately my new PS only has 6/8 pin cables. I found it stated in several forums that you can split the 8 pin cable to supply a 4-pin socket. The first 4 pins fit fine and appear well seated, but now when I try to boot I get led but no fan and no boot.
Do I need to get a molex to 4-pin adapter or does this indicate some other problem?
