If it runs by itself it's your motherboard or something attached.


I would try power on to ground and then psu on to ground, but that would be Doc Brownin' it.
it's short the green wire to any ground to turn the PSU on. Just use somethign insulated to touch.

PCI-E requires 26 amps at 12 volts. That's a 650W PSU.
