Ok, well I decided to try my first build and I am a little nervous right now. Ok...I plugged in everything as I was supposed to, and bam....all my LED fans light up and start sucking/blowing, the cold cathode light turns on, but alas.....nothing comes up on my monitor. I tried clearing CMOS (my buddy told me), and nothing. Everything else seems to be running right. Is my video card bad or am I just a moron......?
 
Oh and after I tried hitting clear....there comes an intermittent beep.

Edit: forgot to add specs:

AMD mobile 2600+
NF7-S mobo
1 gig (2x512) corsair XMS 3000 ram (cas2)
antec case
SLK 900 HS and 80 mm fan
Plus a bundle of case fans and a cold cathode.
ATI 9800 pro
 
PSU???.... Could be a lack of power? Any dip switches or jumpers(for setting FSB or VCORE) that need to be messed with. What make of the 9800 pro and last but not least double check all connections and try to start up with only the cpu, video card, keyboard and mouse connected you should get some response even with a weak PSU at least enough to rule out bad board/video card/CPU..... Just off the top of my head!
 
Thanks Dr...I will try that tonight!! Will get back with the good/bad news.
 
Ok...got it working. I think the ram was not seated right. I pulled them both out and put them back in and it is running like a dream. Just have to take the time to install everything. Thanks for the help guys.
