Most computer power supplies won't start unless enough current is being drawn, which is why the fan doesn't always start.  As for the actual problem, I'm not sure if I'm interpreting you correctly here, but ...

An AT power supply should have 2x power connectors.  You plug them both into the board - normally the connectors are right next to each other, with the black wires in the middle (I think - I've only ever plugged in an AT-type board once).
