I am very new at all of this, so take it easy.
I am attempting to build a computer. I recently tried to put it all together, but there was a problem. When I have everything but the 4-pin motherboard connector connected, it seems to run fine, but is unresponsive and does not display anything. When I connect the 4-pin connector and try to power up, the PSU makes a small clicking noise and nothing happens.

Specs
PSU: 850 Watt
HDD: WD 350 GB w/ Windows 7
Graphics Card: GeForce 9600 GT
Motherboard: Dell MS-7059 Ver-1 (not completely sure)
RAM: Samsung 512 mb
 
Ok, Apower is one to stay away from. You'd need a new PSU, I think. You wouldn't have another PSU that you can try on there to test it, do you?

Oh, and welcome to TF! :D
 
It might be the motherboard, too. I pulled it out of a Dell desktop that I am unable to find specs on at this time. It says on it N1996, if you can make any sense of this number.
 
OK, So I have it all connected. (I did not before):lol: The problem now is; upon start-up, a small amber light starts flashing and nothing happens. This amber light is the one connected to the power button. The LED on the motherboard is a steady amber color.
