As Rogue Leader notes, that PSU is junk. Not being able to start your PC with it is the optimal usage of it.

You'll have to tell us what country you're in and where you can purchase PSUs in order for us to recommend a safe one. I've yet to see a country in which something better than this wasn't available, though you may have to pay more for it.
