Do you get POST? Or any beep codes?

Does the AMD Sempron need the 4 pin 12V power connector? If so, is that connected?

Also start by checking if the RAM is good. Then start testing other components by swapping them out with other components (swap in a different power supply or try the power supply on a working PC).

ill give it a try, though i did put the M4 power supply in stadard ATX mode and use the actual power switch from the desktop in the same place as it was in when i booted it with the actual standard ATX AC-DC PSU. When using the AC-DC it booted fine, but when using the 12V from the AC-DC to power the M4 i got a simple flicker of the power light and a rotation of the fan and then nothing. that was useing the power on from the M4
