First of all, hello to all and sorry that my first topic on here is a pathetic cry for help but there you go.
I need help with a socket 370 mb and a psu
This is the board in question.

Anyone have any experience with this particular Compaq board? I know it's an OEM.
I recently purchased it and I also have a Pentium III 866Mhz and 256mb sd ram.
It wont't post. I tried my good (modern) PSU, I've also tried some no name PSU with supposedly higher 3v and 5v amperage. (30 on both) but no luck. A few green lights light up on the MB but the cpu fan doesn't spin and there's no vga signal.
The seller swears the board works (of course). He claims it works with one of his old 20pin PSUs.
What do you guys think? Is the board toast or do I need some kind of special old PSU, or maybe some custom OEM PSU? I've been dealing with this nonsense the past few weeks and it's not fun.
