new pc(first one too) buliding help!

[MegaCharger]

Ok, I got:

Abit IC7
3.0c
AIW R9700 Pro
an Antec case with truepower 430 watt
120gb WD
some sony 16x dvd drive
some sony floppy
2x512mb kingston hyperx pc3500 ram
some cheap belkin nci card, which I only put in the PCI slot but didn't connect the power cable(where the heck is the power for the pci device on this board anyways~!)

I tried my best t put them together and when I try to boot up, it will keep giving off this "bee-boo-bee-boo" sound non-stop then after 5 sec or so it will shut down. Damn it! What is wrong!? Could it be that I connected the cables wrong or something? I connected that really thick cable from the PSU to the motherboard. Then connected the fans to the cables with "FAN ONLY", and I connected the 9700 pro to one of the cables, and then at the other to the harddrive. The board comes with round cables. I connected the floppy one to the floppy and then to the mobo, this I did correctly. I also connected the IDE cable to the DVD drive(master end) to the HD(slave) then to the motherboard's 1st IDE slot. Can anybody help me!? I didn't set any jumpers for the HDD because I don't know how to nor do I know where are they! Somebody help me! This rig cost me 2k and it would suck to not being able to run it

Sorry I don't mean to spam all the forums but I REALLY NEED HELP

Your best bet is to take the comp to a local computer shop and have them build it.

If you want to try, remove everything but the CPU, RAM and video card and see what happens.


Also the MB manual will have a table to show what the error beeps you got means.

 

does the monitor ever recieve a signal?

1. look online for a way to decode the beeps, they mean something
2. my friend destroyed his first computer because he didn't realize that there are spacers between the mobo nd case
3. try switching/moving the ram around
4. try another video card
5. reset the bios

obviously this may well not solve your problem, but your computer should start to POST with just a video card, ram, cpu, and power so try booting wiht just those connected.
