Is the fan wire properly plugged into the motherboard cpu fan header?
Is the fan spinning sufficiently high enough? Perhaps 500+rpm.
Some motherboards will not boot without a fan spinning sufficiently high.
In the install process has a cable been dislodged a bit?
Look at the main 24 pin or aux 4/8 pin power leads.

Well here's the problem, the new cooler I have installed is a semi-passive so the fan only starts spinning if the temperature gets high.

Well, I did that but it didn't boot also. I had to disconnect the motherboard inorder to install a spacer under the motherboard so the cooler can be installed into the 1151 (I think) socket so I may have messed up at reconnecting the cables.
It won't boot, but does it power up or POST? Only 2 cables need to be connected: the 24 pin cable and the CPU ATX 4-pin or 8-pin cable. The FP cables are not required; you can always temporarily short the power pins to power up.
