Ok, sounds like an issue.

Lets get some info first. What are the parts you are using. CPU,MOBO,RAM and so forth. Does anything happen at all?. Do the fans start when you turn the power on?. Is everything plugged in to the correct places on the MOBO?.

Look forward to your reply and hope we can help.

Try the bench test with minimum components, see how that goes.
