When power is switched on, do you see ANY activity on the board...ie...lights of any kind? One thing to remember about mounting a new mobo is to make sure it's not touching any metal. A shorted mobo will not turn on. Make sure you have the board mounted correctly in the case and then try powering it up again. I built a new computer some months ago and could not get it to power up. I was sure it was defective and was preparing to rma it when I tried remounting it once more and voila! It worked. Whey trying this, remove all of your pci cards except video if you happen to have a pci video card. If it's agp, leave it in, unless your video is integrated into the board.
