I had this problem with my new motherboard. All my components worked fine, but when I started it up, you could hear fans running, but nothing on the screen, and no beeps from the computer! Turns out it was a dead motherboard! If you hear no beeps, there's your problem (which it's pretty common for a mobo to be DOA)

It could be your PS, it is considered a Tier 5 PS. Do you have any other PS to try?
According to this post you PS is not recommended for gaming systems!

Logysis wouldn't be a very good choice for a PSU, but the system is receiving power, since the fans are running. I've had the lowest of the low PSU's at one point, still booted up fine (that is, until the PSU exploded :p)

Just because your fans are running doesn't mean your PS is fully functional. There are many regulated sections of the PS. It may be fine. You just have to look at the weakest link and Asus makes great MB's ( They are not infallible, I had a bad Asus MB!) There are cheap PS testers that show the proper function of each section.

I am not trying to be rude or anything, your MB may be bad, but you should either try to put the PS in another system, borrow one from a friend or get a friend to go in halves with you on a $15 PS tester you could share. If you send in the MB and it is not bad, you will be very frustrated. If you are young and will probably build lots of computers in the future, it couldn't to hurt own one and have a tool that can save you a lot of time.

Like avjguy said you could try a different PSU, just to be safe! I also had an Asus Mobo as well! Still, if you hear no beeps, that's more than likely the issue... I'd know because I just had this problem last week. So try the PSU before you send it back :)
