I had a number of problems -
1. I didn't have the M2 ATX connected properly... check that if is connected properly as per the manual i.e the diagram in post #7
2. I had a lot of problems with the Molex connectors that don't provide very good contact - check these.
3. I had simalar problems with my PSU. I couldn't get it to boot properly. It started for a second an then failed. I got around this by disconneciting the motherboard on/off switch (J8). This enabled to PC to startup. ( I have read that switch the polarity if the lead somtimes helps - although it didn't help me)

If you can power up the AMP your amp is okay.
If your motherboard starts up your motherboard is okay.

I suspect that it's your PSU that's causing you grief, which is what my problem was. Since installing the replacement on my machine I haven't had any problems.

I have to mention that at the same time my mother board starting playing up and I ended up replacing that too. I think this was just co-incidental though.

If I get a chance I will ckeck the voltage from the AMP RMT wire.

good luck
