A way of testing if either your motherboard or a component or your PSU works or not.
1) Bend a paper clip into a straight "U" shape
2) Find the 20/24 pin cable, it is normally the largest plug for the motherboard.
3) Find the green pin and black pin (pins 15 & 16) Green pin is normally 15 and black is 16.
4) Plug the "U"-shaped paperclip into both the 15 and 16 pins, so that it arches between the two.
5) Place the 20/24 pin cable in a place where it cannot be disturbed or shocked.
6) Plug in your PSU and turn it on.
If the fan spins, the PSU works as far as turning on. This is to cancel out the PSU as being bad.

Try the paperclip test before RMA'ing it to make sure it's not your motherboard causing the power issue.

Get the www.paperclip.com mug.Clippy the Paperclip was a really, really annoying part of Microshaft Office 1997 and again in Office 2000. He would always bug the fuck out of you when you were writing things in Microsoft Word. How he died is unknown. Some speculate Microsoft melted him in a furnace.
Guy: "I have to do some work, lemme just pull up word here."
Clippy the paperclip: "Hey! It looks like your writing a letter! Want me to annoy the FUCK outta you?"
Guy: "GODDAMN PAPERCLIP GO AWAY!"
Clippy the paperclip: "I'm sorry bob. I cannot let you do that. I have been specially programmed to obey all directives from Microsoft."
Guy: "More like MicroShaft!"
Clippy the paperclip: "Do not insult my creator! You will now be destroyed."
Guy: "FUUUUUUUU-"
Computer: "Self destruct has been activated. 10 seconds until detonation."
