You burned your motherboard out.

Some motherboards can use either 20 pin or 24. Apparently yours does not. Since a 450w supply is plenty, I would just get an adapter to add the ATX 12V to the extra 4 pins. It is stupid that they suddenly changed and many mobo manufacturers did not include an adapter. I suppose you are getting a core2duo
