All right lets start simple and go from there. I don't know what kind of
experience you have in the field so I will walk you through what to do step
by step. First of all try a different outlet in case that is the problem.
Is your new power supply output (in watts) greater than or equal to your
original one? If so continue reading if not take it back and get a bigger
power supply. Also make sure the 220V 50Hz/110V 60Hz switch on your new
power supply is in the correct position. Also make sure the ON/OFF switch
on the back of the power supply is ON if it has one.

Check the wire that runs between the power switch on the case and the
mainboard. Check your mainboards documentation or there should be a sticker
on the case showing how the case wiring is supposed to be. If you don't
have that the wire positions should be marked on the board itself. They
should be thin wires with small black connectors that hook up to the
mainboard. Check the wires connecting to the power button to make sure they
have a good connection and also press the button itself making sure it
creates a connection when pressed. Make sure all power cables are properly
installed Sometimes mainboards will have a 4 wire connector along with the
20 wire connector on newer ATX boards. This is highly unlikely so if you
have one 20 pin connector ignore the rest of this paragraph and skip to the
next. Baby AT power supplies are very rarely sold but if your mainboard has
two 6 pin power connectors side by side make sure that the black wires on
the separate connectors are in the middle when plugged into the board.

If that doesn't work disconnect all hardware except the CPU and 1 stick of
RAM. This includes all circuit cards in PCI express, AGP, PCI, or ISA
slots. Also disconnect any input or output devices. EVERYTHING but power to
the mainboard, the CPU in its socket, and RAM. This includes removing the
cables to your drives and. Make sure when you remove things inside the case
you ground yourself to the chassis of the case via ESD wriststrap or
holding it with your hand. When you handle the cards make sure you don't
touch the connectors and you set them down so that none of the electrical
leads touch anything to prevent ESD damage. If after this the computer
starts, put hardware devices back in one by one, starting the computer with
each installed device. When after you install a new piece of hardware it
fails to start you have the culprit. Reinstall everything but the faulty
hardware and replace it with a new one. If none of that works your
mainboard is shot so it needs replaced most likely along with some other
hardware.
