Your computer needs a good motherboard, a good power supply and a good CPU to POST. If anything else is bad or missing, your system will still POST...but with errors. If your power supply isn't turning on at all when connected to the mainboard...

Are you sure your power switch is good and hooked up correctly? An easy way to test for this is to momentarily short the two pins (on motherboard) where the power switch connects with a screwdriver. If the system powers up, then the problem has got to be in your CASE somewhere. That is, the case itself is bad. If the system doesn't power up with the screwdriver trick, you've got a bad motherboard or a bad power supply.

Do I need to test it with the CPU? I'm just connecting the PSU and the mobo without the CPU and RAM because I don't have any of both.

yes you need the cpu and is fan to be connected on the board and the ram in place also the 24 pins power for the board with the atx plug in to
