AMD XP 1600+ & PC CHIPS 830LR

I recently got this mobo/CPU combo, and am having some pains getting it running. When loaded with CPU, 512MB DDR, 320w PSU (AMD Approved) and Video Card only, I hit the power button and get Nothing. CPU fan doesn't even twitch. No humm of the PSU. Nothing.

If I remove the CPU, it powers up, but beeps. I figure, without a CPU, I can't get to the BIOS screen, but can probably assume the CPU is bad. I've gotten an RMA # from the vendor and will be sending it back..... but was wondering if the problem might be attributed to something else as well?


Any suggestions?
