The bootstrap code resides in ROM. When you reset the board, PC jumps at that location. Bootstrap code redirects to secondary 
storage(may be NAND chip) where your U-boot should be existing. Check whether its jumping onto NAND address where you downloaded 
U-Boot inshort check your bootstrap configurations. Also check where you are downloading U-boot. Both should be same.
after verifying above step, and if correct then for debugging U-Boot, you can do below steps:-
1) If your board have UART, then try to capture Log. If no message is coming, it means U-boot crashed in primary initialisation 
before UART got initialised. You can use LED(if you have one, on your board) for debugging step be step before UART initialisation. 
Once UART is up, then I think its very easy to debug the issue.
