Ah. When people build systems, I tend to tell people to check and make sure the CPU is seated right. It may LOOK like it's seated right, but it might not be. With the CPU seated incorrectly, your computer will power on, the fans and everything will start spinning. Just, nothing will happen. Are you getting any beeps at all? Through personal experience, I almost RMAed my Video card and motherboard afeter gettting a new video card and HSF, thinking I damaged them both. Good think I checked the CPU first, and saved myself the hastle.
