Make sure you have the 20+4 pin connections made as well as the extra 4 pin connection. Clear the cmos and double check the jumpers. If that doesn't work strip it down to the bare essentials. If you still get no boot pull it out of the case and test it on a book or box.

If it did the same thing on a different motherboard, I'd be inclined to think it's possibly a grounding issue (which the build outside of the case would tell ya) or maybe even a possible DOA PSU. I've had a PSU do the same thing to me.
I'm gonna guess you got the Thermaltake 430w TR2 PSU?
