Default Need Help My Car Won't Start

I just got the car and it started fine then yesterday when I went to start it nothing happened. There was a little buzz in the engine compartment up front near the passengers side. I replaced the starter and that didn't do anything to help the problem. I checked the alternator and the battery and both are fine. Also there is current to the starter. When I jump started it with a screwdriver it turned over a little bit but it didn't actually start it up. Any ideas on what I could do to fix this problem. I'm running out of ideas. Please help.

Also the red "GEN" light in the center console comes on intermittenly but the alternator tests out fine.

When you jumped the starter with the screwdriver was the ign in the run position. Make sure its in park or nuetral.
