No start, no nothin'

I have a brand new motherboard but it will not start at all. There is no beeps, no display at all, only the CPU and PSU fan is active. When I turn it on, nothing happens apart from the fans. When I try to turn it off, the light on the front pannel goes off but my fans are still running. I've checked the jumpers, I cleared the CMOS, I checked the Front pannel connections, unplugged my drives and took out my graphics card and used the intergreted. Confusing! My specs on this computer as follows:

Asrock K8-Upgrade VM800 motherboard with int. gfx Bios rev. P2.00
AMD Sempron 64bit 2800+
512mb DDR 400
Geforce 5500
80gb HDD
DVD burner
L&C technology 350w PSU with:

28A on +3.3V
28A on +5V
19A on +12V
0.88A on -12V
2A on +5VSB

Can anyone help! Many thanks in advance.

Did you plug the square 4 pin lead into the mobo beside the cpu??Other than that cpu fan plugged into the right fan header, standoffs in the correct positions?etc..you get the drift check all the basics.The psu is a little weak on the 12 volt but if it isn't bad it should still fire up.
