Hello, you need to check to see if you are getting the proper power to your mobo. Use a volt meter to make sure you are getting power. There was somebody here that successful bypassed the small power control switch board, but you will have to search the site to find it.
Do you have the directions for installing a new PSU for the Snap4000? Or are u trying to figure it out on your own?

Is the green wire from your new ATX PSU grounded to the rail ?
Take the green wire that goes to pin14 on the main ATX 20 pin connector and attach to the ground rail of your new power supply. This will make your new ATX PSU always on which is needed.

Snap4000 old OEM PSU are on always. Even if you shut them down the PSU is on. The only way to turn the OEM PSU off is to unplug the power cord. That's why the new replacement PSU has to have the green wire grounded on the rail to make it always on.

Good luck!
