It sounds like there's a problem with the mobo. Does it POST?

It should. Try plugging in just the psu, ram, cpu, and cpu fan and see if it posts.

Your description is still a bit vague. First step is to make sure all connections are properly made. If you forgot to plug in the square 4 pin connector on your motherboard then you will get no image.

Check/play with your RAM. Put it to 1Gig and try different spots.

And as said above, check your cables.

Some PSU have a 4 + 4 plug and only one
of the 4 works the other is different.

Also double check the directions...
For plugging in PSU to motherboard.
For which slots to put memory.
For which memory to use.
For which CPU's work.
