Rebuilt computer... problems

[MrUniverse]

I just received a bunch of new parts that I was going to rebuild my pc with. I replaced the motherboard, cpu, video card, added another harddrive, psu, and memory.

Once everything is installed I go to turn on my computer, the fans come on and the hard drive does its thing but there is no display on the screen. I tried a different monitor and got the same result. Unfortunately I do not have another pci-e video card to swap out and try, but I am not completely convinced that is causing it.

Ideas anyone? Thanks.

first give us a list of the hardware.

Edit: as in video card brand/model, mb brand/model, memory brand/model/capacity/# of sticks, cpu brand/model, etc.

even if you get everything to work, you'll need to reinstall OS anyway. so try it with the new HD

The video card is a MSI RX800TD256E, motherboard is the A8N-E, memory is Kingston Value RAM DDR400(PC3200)-currently only have the one stick in(although I do have two available), and the cpu is the AMD 3500+ 90nm, not quite sure which core it is, not the Venice. Harddrive is a Western Digital IDE 40gb, my new harddrive which I haven't used yet is the same brand except with 8mb cache and 120gb. Hope this helps a bit, and thanks for your interest guys.

Are you getting any beeps/diagnostic leds? If so, mb manual should have a list of beep/light codes that will help you figure out in which stage of startup the computer is hanging.

Try the RAM in all slots. Test all sticks separately.
Find the cmos jumper and verify that it's in the correct position.
Reset the cmos.
Check video card seating.
Look for misplaced screws/risers behind the mb.
Test suspect parts in a computer that's known to be working.
