I am trying to install a new power supply in my PC and am having trouble. The original power supply with the machine was a 250 watt AT power supply. I am trying to install a 400 watt ATX power supply. The SOYO 5EHM motherboard appears to accomodate both types, however, when I make all the necessary connections, the fan on the AMD processor turns on for a split second and then nothing happens.

Please advise. Thank you.
