Everything lights up, but the fans don't start spinning, please help!

But once it does power up, it goes into Windows and works normally?

Are you able to test te PS_ON signal pin on the ATX cable?

Disconnect it from motherboard, and with a paperclip (or something metallic) do a "jumper" between the PS_ON and any COM pins (you can check them here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe...9/ATX_PS_signals.jpg/250px-ATX_PS_signals.jpg )

If the PSU starts, it can be something related to its startup, and the possibilities are: faulty PSU, faulty MOBO, discharged CMOS battery, faulty Power On button. You will need to search by elimination.

If the PSU does not starts, its a faulty PSU.
