I recently bought an Akasa System Exhaust Blower and when I've installed it, my PC won't power on at all. The power light briefly flashes but then turns off again. The light on my mobo is still on, indicating that power IS getting to it.

I'm using a Silverstone SST 1000W SST-DA1000 MODULAR PSU (I had to look this up on my order history page on another website, copy it into Google for specifics). The exhaust blower itself uses a ye olde 4-pin connector, and this device is the only thing in the system using this type of connection. When I unplug the cable directly from the PSU, the system boots up just fine. So I know it's something to do with the 4-pin connector...I just don't know how to get it working :/

Any help would be much appreciated c:
 
A random guess would be to find another case fan that has the same 4pin molex plug and hook it up instead of the blower fan, if the system works normally then the motor in the blower fan or the wiring in it are faulty and causing a short.

Tried different PSU 4pin connectors?
 
Tried two separate PSU connectors, both produced the same failed results. Sadly, this is the only device I have with a 4-pin connector :c
