Iron

So, I have a power supply with 20 pin and 4 pin connectors and a Gigabyte Ga MA770-UD3 motherboard with 24pin and 8pin connectors, you can’t connect 20 + 4 to 24pin, they won’t fit, but if I connect 20 pin to 24, and 4 pin to 8, then the motherboard refuses to work, the power supply is cut down after ~ 1 second. If I don’t connect 4 pins at all, but only 20 to 24, then the board works, the coolers spin, but there’s nothing on the connected monitor, the system also doesn’t start - I can’t connect via ssh.
What could be the problem?

Insufficient power, buy a new PSU
20pin on the motherboard is only used on very old PSUs. Now backwards compatible in 24pin is used.
Similarly with the CPU, they used to use 4 pins, now they switched to 8pin. Also backwards compatible. 4pin is allowed to be used if the CPU will not overclock

How old is the power supply? Years 15? Nice job, leave him to rest.
Such an artifact from the ATX1.3 times, although electrically compatible with ATX2.x (correct connection scheme: 4-pin processor power to the processor, 20-pin to a 24-pin connector), is designed for a different workload in principle. Do not scoff at the pensioner.
