Ok, it works!
Now, I have another problem. When I connect the PSU, all the fans are spinning and the HDD is "alive". But the computer is OFF! Then I turn the PC and the fans slow down, POST, everthing....
So, how come fans and HDD can be ON, when the PC is OFF??

I know you can connect the green wire with the black wire on an ordinary PSU to jump start it even without the MoBo. Maybe on your picoPSU, those wire are in contact with each other? just a thought...

It looks like the connector plugs into other places on the picoPSU. Try these? (It should be obvious if it does/doesn't fit.)
If you get the same effect, then the most probable explanation is a fault with the PSU. As it's new, I'd recommend contacting the supplier and getting it replaced.

The bahaviour happens even if it's only the 24pin ATX that is connected. Though in this case, the HDD is not powered. So, sadly, I also thini it's the PSU.
Alternatively, could it be the motherboard? The USB 2.0 behind doesn't seem to work properly.

I'm not so sure. The picoPSU is supposed to be fully ATX compliant. So, when we turn OFF the computer, all voltages should shut down, except for the +5VSB. So, if the fans and HDD are receiving power, it could mean that the picoPSU is not shutting down properly the 12V power.
Well, the MB is at the computer shop, I should have some results later today on the MB. If they can power the MB correctly, the picoPSU will be the only remaining suspect.
