Default RE: How to convert an ATX power supply to rc use

Andrew, I need help!, Ihave two PS'S that I converted without success; #1 is a dell 1996-2000 era 12v, 200w, set up: Load=(5v)red and black to 10 ohm 10w resistor,(12v) yellow to recept., black to recpt., grey wired to black.there appears to be know "sense" wires ie; all single pin wires from the mobo connector.Battery connected to charger, charger connected to PS then PS connected to ac, result a fan bump and nothing else, no voltage. I have checked for shorts at banana plugs, foriegn matter on circuit board and no burn't odor.

# 2 PS is a compaq 250 watt.set upin 11, org and brn. wired together, pin 14 grn. to black,red and black wired to 10 ohm, 10 w resistor, ps connected to battery and charger as stated above. fan runs albeit a little slow I think but the resistor gets so hot in a matter of seconds that it cnnot be touched, then tried 4 one ohm resistors with the same results.
Thanks
