We donn't know your components.
Post links to them.
And just for future reference. regaurdless of what your dad says, Putting components ONTOP of a Anti-Static bag is not a good idea.
As I have said before theres more Static on the outside of the bag since its susposed to keep static out of the bag and protect whatever is inside of it.
Start RMAing Parts.
Plug in the PSU, and hotwire the green and any black cable with a paper clip, does it turn on?
Did you plug the speaker in? Does it beep?
Edit: 12amps is not enough for a modern system. get a new PSU. Antec make good PSU's that are not too pricey. Fortron and Enermax are good. 18amps should be the minimum.

No way ever am I taking this to some "PC specialist". What do you take me for? lol
I tried it with the other motherboard, and the psu powers up fine, with the psu fan etc. But with this motherboard, not even the psu fan comes on. I'm guessing by this that it's at the very edge, and it doesn't have enough power to power it's own fan! It requests too much energy and just the whole thing shorts out.
My dad's friend has a server that he is giving me, and maybe I can swap out psu's, considering servers usually have more amphrage/wattage than compared to desktop pc's at the time. Considering that they may have to deal with dual processors or a large amount of drives.
If that doesn't work, I suppose I'll have to get a new one. I would have to be extremely cheap with this, and I know a psu usually isn't something you want to be cheap on.
But I'd really need something that is very inexpensive. Any reccomendations for a PSU? Thanks for your help.
