i have just installed a new power supply and when i first plugged everything as normal i pressed the power button and then as soon as the fans started spinning they stoped then if i pressed the power anymore i got nothing at all unless i turned the PSU on and off on the back of the unit
however when i unplug my SATA maxtor harddrive it continues running but obviously cant boot up
please help

What is the spec of the system, and what PSU have you bought? It could be that it hasn't the capacity to power your system.

Try connecting the drive with a different connector from the PSU, does that make any difference?
