On the power supply, there are 2 or 3, square shaped, 4 pin connectors. These connectors are interchangeable, but only one (or 2 depending on the PSU) is an actual power cable. The other appears to be mainly signal cables. On an AMD board, if the wrong connector is plugged in, the PSU won't start. Just wondering if perhaps it will fire up a P4 board and it's taken this long for something to need the extra power?
IIRC, the plug that shouldn't be used, is supplied piggy-backed onto the main power socket and is black in colour with one each of yellow, red, black and orange cables. If the motherboard socket can't take the connection as it is supplied, the 4 pin connector is not needed and can be secured out of the way. The 4 pin power connector on the other hand is needed and should be blue in colour with 2 yellow and 2 black cables in it.
Does that make sense, or is it clear as mud?
Just a thought... -- Andy
