First Time Homebuild - Motherboard Wont Power Up

[Ice_Man]

Im looking for a little help here with a build. This is a first time build for me and I am having an issue with the motherboard not powering up. I recently purchased a Gigabyte S-Series P45T-ES3G Motherboard to complete my build. After installing the Intel Pentium Duo CPU and aftermarket Thermatake CPU Fan, I mounted the mobo to the case with the proper number of stand-offs (no extras). I then installed two DIMM sticks of G.Skill 8GB DDR3 Ripsaws RAM. Next I plugged in the 24-pin and 12v connectors from the Antec Earthwatts EA-500 D 500W ATX PSU. I have not hooked up any other connections. After plugging in the power cord and hitting the swith on the PSU, I get nothing. No fans, no lights on the mobo, nothing. The mobo is brand new and the PSU is used but tested from the seller. I also tested the PSU on an older Itox G7V600-G mobo and it powered right up w/o even having a CPU installed. What am I missing here? Is there some fail-safe that I over looked? I read through the sticky thread about posting/booting and made sure that I was doing everything up to this point correctly. Any help would be most appreciated.

Have you plugged in the little tiny cables for the power button, reset button, HDD, and LED lights? That's a common mistake...
