I assumed you checked to make sure it was grounded properly
Also check the harness connector, and the molex break connector if there is one, sometimes a loose pin can cause problems
As for the other ps's not booting the multi baord, it is most likely a voltage issue
I read before that the multi's are sensitive to voltage variations, I can't remember what the min was, check the 5 volts with a meter and adjust up and down and try again.
