" try testing the board outside the case, only CPU and CPU fan installed, both 24 and 8 pin power cables connected. No other components, fans, wires.
Start the board by shortly touching with a screwdriver the 2 pins on the board corresponding to the case power button. See if the CPU fan does spin."

which model power supply? specs for the rest of the system.
if you are not getting power and the system is new I would replace the power supply as (if new) should be under warranty.
do you have a spare power source you could use for testing, one you could borrow?

try this, this test and I use the term loosely will determine of the power supply can power itself. is like the actual switch for the power supply. if the PSU turns on it means is that the power supply has enough juice to power itself, but if nothing happens the unit is dead and needs replacement.
even if it passes the test it does not clear the power supply as good. that is a lower end budget PSU and the most likely suspect. At this point the best test would be to replace the power supply or test the power supply in another computer.

It is a risky move spending money on a PSU that you don't even know might not even be the issue. However in the long term it's worth it as it would expand the life supply and would support any more upgrades that require more power. I would recommend you get the '740 watt gold EVGA'. It had lasted me more than a year now and still is.

Well the PSU is responsible for providing power to all the components. Simply without it would be impossible for the computer to start.

There is a very small chance it's the fuse that has blown in the power cable. See if you can change it.

you tested both PSU's and neither will boot the system? have you tried a different cable? you have the 4/8-pin CPU AUX power connected?
short the power pins on the motherboard as the power switch could be bad. just touch the two pins that the power switch connects to with a conductor, paperclip, screwdriver, whatever conductor for half a second and see if the system powers on.
try the computer on a different wall outlet, possibly on a seperate circuit.

your system will use 200W maximum full throttle so a 430W S12II from seasonic would be my suggestion for that system. if the PSU is 4-5 mo's old it is under warranty and EVGA is good with their warranties.

double check this sticky for possible issues
