Without a picture or something to describe your ship, guessing your problem is impossible. Upload the .craft file (best use a hosting file site) and link it here, so it could be tested.

Have you tried setting the engines to the same stage as the launch clamps, and launching at full throttle?

Some mod engines required a second or two to reach full power. They should be fired before releasing the launch clamps. In addition, throttle defaults to 50% until you use Shift to increase it to full. That should be done before launching your rocket.

Regardless, without a picture or a Craft file, there is no way to determine what your problem is during launching.
