The motherboard might be bad from the manufacturer. it happens sometimes. the only compatibility issue i could see would be between the motherboard and the CPU. will your computer boot to BIOS? if you can get to BIOS fine you might have a problem with compatibility between the MoBo and CPU

Just a shot in the dark, because I did this before...
Did you make sure to mount the motherboard so that the back of it is not touching the side of the case? The mobo should have came with mounting screws to prevent that from happening, because if it touches, the board will short and won't boot up.
Also, make sure that the RAM is seated properly...and if you have more than one stick of memory installed, try booting up with just one stick installed.

in my experience Ram is the most troublesome piece of hardware in the computer. but even if you had no ram installed it should still boot to BIOS because it is a firmware installed and run directly off of the motherboard. if you have on board video try using that instead of a video card.
