Are you sure the PC's not drawing too much for the PSU and did you use the PDF on the M2 website?

Now, since you seem incapable of listening and following instruction, in a direct response to your question, and by the way, YOU STILL HAVE NOT CONFIRMED HOW YOU WIRED THE UNIT, OR TESTED THE WIRING. Just saying you wired it accroding to the manual means nothing. Did you actually find an accessory wire. Did you test it. Are you sure you have constant power. Does it come straight from the battery? What is the MB, there is a known issue with the early M2's and the Epia boards.
Who cares if you have installed another carputer. Is everything between the 2 the exact same. Obviously not, because unless the M2 is totally dead, which I find hard to believe, though possible, unless you did something to it inadvertantly, then they would both be working, and not just one. Have you run a power calculator for this system. Probably not, maybe you are overloading the PS and it won't start.
Why the hell should I have to sit here and spell this **** out for you when you can find it with a search. Why are you being so lazy about it.
Now, read these darn threads I found for you on a search. Let me know when you follow ALL the suggestions in these threads.

I agree with everyone else here, i bet you're the sort of person that honks his horn and shouts at people in traffic, why don't you try to be polite for a change, you may find that you like it.
I honk my horn and yell and gesture (yes, I do that, too) to let other people know that I feel their driving is unsafe.
It's kinda like jumping up & down and waving your arms to get the attentioon of the person that's about to jump off a building. You've let them know that you're aware of his actions and the rude gestures let them know that you're displeased.
Although, I also agree that WiredWRX snapped and went off on this particular n00b unnecessarily.
While I wholly agree with his assessment of the OP's power issue and his presentation of the problem to the mp3car.com community for assistance. "I plugged it in and it doesn't work" isn't anywhere near enough information for anyone to truly diagnose a problem.
Explanations of where wires run to, jumper settings, details about the setup, photos/diagrams, etc. are all exteremely helpful in diagnosing a problem.
Basicvally, we have to determine if the OP is incorrect in his statement that everythign is wired up per the manual or if there's some other wiring problem or if the M2ATX is faulty or any number of potential power problems that could be in play here.
While WiredWRX was certainly over-harsh in his response, the OP was just as n00b-ish in his request for assistance. Two wrongs don't make a right without some intense brainwashing.
but I bet you don't get out of the car, give them a proper breifing, go to your car, get some law books and show them some citations of how wrong they are, all whilst it's being filmed for lots of people to see over time!
