check ur wiring/

Did it always work correctly before? Did anything change? Do the fans whir?

If nothing is coming on, then I'd suspect the connections, as Pengwin suggested, or maybe even the Motherboard before I'd expect it was the PSU. However, if you can find a spare one, it's an easy enough thing to test.
