I just checked out that power supply. Exchange it. It only provides up to 15A on the single 12V rail. It's doubtful that's enough for your motherboard, before adding a PCI-e video card. (Because that card doesn't have its own aux power connector it draws from the MB which means the MB really needs those extra pins supplied. (and of course, the PSU needs to have enough power to supply) The reason for the redundant pins of equal voltage on a 24-pin connector is so the connectors aren't overloaded. Once you hit ~18A the 12V pins start to desolder themselves.  )
