Computer boots for 4 seconds with VX550w corsair

Hi,

 

Just recieved my power supply today, a Corsair VX 550w

 

Conected it to my computer and turned it on. The fans ran for four seconds and then turned off. I have quite an old motherboard, an ASrock p4vt8+.

 

I tried the power supply in an older computer that was not being used and it worked fine, leading me to assume that the power supply has no problems. Then i tried it again in my computer with just the motherboard connected and i had the same problem.

 

So i was wondering what is wrong and how i could fix it.

Unfortunately there is a chance that the board is not compatible with our PSU. You will need to make sure that the board is compatible with ATX12v 2.01 or newer PSUs. Normally this will be disclosed in the motherboard manual. If the board only supports ATX12v 1.3 then the PSU may not work with the board.
