80 gb western digital sata HDD
cd-rom/writer

evga geforce 6800

please, can anyone help? 🙁

 
Make sure the CPU fan and the video card molex are plugged in. While you're at it, make sure everything else is inserted securely (RAM, pci cards). If they are, you might need to re-seat the CPU heatsink as it may not be making good contact.
