Scientific method.
Remove all non-vital components one by one, each time trying to turn it on. If you're reduced to barebones (Mobo, CPU, RAM, and ONE RAM DIMM), then the problem resides within one of those. Also make sure you're testing outside the case, on a non-static surface. If you're reduced to barebones and it still doesn't work, I'd suggest resetting your CMOS by using the motherboards jumpers. If you have any other PSU in the house, try its 24 pin connector.
Sounds like it's your BIOS, I remember a friend with the same exact problem. I just jumped his CMOS reset, and it worked perfectly afterwards. Then again, it may also be that you received a shitty piece of hardware.
It wouldn't be your CPU cooler, with no coolers CPU's have time to boot into an OS before overheating (100C). I tried it on an old Athlon once for the hell of it, could've cooked an egg on that thing afterwards.
Are any motherboard LED's turning on? Have your tested your PSU seperately? (Using a paperclip to jump-start the PSU, just to test for functionality) Did you screw the motherboard in too tightly? It often leads to shorts. Have you plugged in your CPU power? Did you install the CPU correctly? Just ideas.

Motherboard light goes when the PSU is powered up. I press the p[ower button and the fans go on very briefly and then stop again. Ive tried removing each stick of RAM. It doesn't beep or anything.

But its brand new corsair xms2 and there is no beep. COuld it be that the motherboard was faulty out of the box. I'll have the am2 sempron soon to test if its the bios version not supporting the am3 cpu. If that fails the motherboard is going back as faulty on arrival.

If the motherboard was faulty would the power led on the actual motherboard go on?
