Ok, just bought a used video card and cpu and I threw it in my shuttle and turned it on. The light comes on and everything but nothing shows up on the monitor. What could this be? I'm sure the video card is good and so is the cpu, what else could it be though?

EDIT: Video card and ram is good, both work. I have no way of testing the cpu though as that is my only socket a mobo. I reset the cmos, took out the cmos battery. Still nothing. Hard drive was wiped clean maybe I need to partition? But the shuttle should still post...

Anyone?

SPEC:
AMD Smepron 2800+
512mb PC3200 Kingston
80gb Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 ATA/133 HDD
FX5700 256mb video card
16x DVD-rom
 
My sn45g is pretty picky about how I install the CPU. I have to push down on the proc prety heavily when I engage the lever, otherwise it doesn't seem to seat fully. I'm not pushing so hard I crack the CPU, but it is more pressure than just enough to hold the CPU in place.
