    First, ensure the power supply is the correct type (20 or 24 pin, extra four pin connector etc.) and of sufficient wattage to handle all the components. If it will only run with a tester connected, something is wrong. There may be a loose connection on a connector.

    Then follow the steps in this article to ensure everything is properly connected and individual components are good. (ie; Connect things one at a time and ensure it boots properly with each component.)
