check for short-circuit.

loosen the screws holding the mobo to the casing and see if it helps.

if not take out all the PCI cards and try booting.

300W for a AMD XP 3000, it will be miracle if anything starts.

Get a higher wattage PSU.

GenX SG

not just higher wattage

Those cheapo brand/no brand that advertise a certain high wattage are not real.

Eg Icute.

but my old power box works leh

even with a normal voltage leh

and this one i brought yest is much higher

should workleh

ermm there is a difference btw stated wattage and real wattage you know?

those cheapo brands most likely are stating max wattage (not stable consistent wattage) than those reliable better branded ones but way more expensive ones.

Maybe you would like to state the brand of the power supply that you have brought?

If you suspect is the power supply, just swap in your old power supply and see can start up or not.
