You aren't trying to use the 4 pins (snap off) that was with the 24 (20 + 4) pin PSU connector, are you? You have to use the square +12 volt molex from the power supply to connect to the motherboard at that connection. If you had a 24 (20+4) connector and you don't need all 24 for your board, then you don't use that little snap off 4 pin connector. Hope you haven't damaged anything.
