Try to disconnect all devices from Power Supply and turn on PC. Then
you should to measure all voltages on its output. Voltage output data
can be found in the mobo manual. It also depends of the power supply
interface (AT or ATX). If the power supply is alive, then you can to
connect other devices: mobo first, FDD second, HDD third, etc.
