So i just bought some new parts, to put to use my old P4
My question is, i got the mobo, ram, and video card new and i was going to use my old psu and hdd. The psu is from an 7 or 8 year old compaq. when i went to start the computer it dident work the cpu fan was spinning when i pluged in the psu but no lights or power on of the board. So does this mean my mobo is no good or is it the psu?
the psu is a 250w, +12v @5A
The psu starts my compaq up but not the new mobo, do they only work for compaqs?
my setup is
