Did you attach both power leads from the PSU to the motherboard?

Let it run for about 30 seconds and it should turn on. My motherboard has a feature that adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature which is probably the same case for you. I was worried about it, then I just went for it because I knew this feature existed. Low and behold it was the problem.
