New computer
So today I put together a new computer, but I can't seem to get the power supply to work it seems, but I'm not sure if I have something else wrong or not. I plug it in, turn on the switch in the back, and all I hear is just a little soung, no fan moving or nothing. Anybody have any ideas? btw, it is a thermaltake 500w power supply.

Well, I did that test, and it worked. So I put it all back in the case and hit the startup button on the case, and the most I have gotten in a quick light, and I have heard one sound. So not sure if I don't have a power cord connected right, or am missing something, or have a short somewhere. So was wondering what I should check next, ect. Thanks for all the help so far everyone.

Don't put the WHOLE THING back in the case - just the basics you had it working with on the table. Make sure THAT works before you start reconnecting everything else.

I put those back in the case, put the screwdriver to the 2 pins, and it started up fine. But there is a 2 pin connector in the front, which I don't know where to connect it from. So where should I go from here now?
