I just assembled a new computer and I can't get the darn thing to boot. I have power going to the cpu fan and the fan on the power supply. My hard drive on spins when the IDE cable is disconnected, and the rom drive also. The power button works to turn the compter on, but after I turn it on the screen remains blank. What is wrong?

Clear the cmos through the pin jumpers or battery. Boot your system.

CPU/motherboard are not compatible(front side bus on board needs to match CPU)
RAM is not compatible(example - board calls for DDR2 533 only)
RAM is not seated properly
