Did you match the chain gauge and pitch to the bar? Example: a .058 gauge chain will not work on a .050 gauge bar nor will .325 chain will not work on a .375 (3/8) bar. Also a .063 gauge chain doesn't normally work on .058 gauge bar but it will on old worn out bars sometimes.

Also double check that the chain brake is released.
