I'm setting up a computer right now... and had your symptoms. Fans spun, but no video. I also had only cpu, memory, video hooked up. I worked over the memory and finally it posted. If the memory chip is tight, the board can easily move some under the pressure to insert it. Try to support it from underneath at any extra tight points. (I use stacked business cards shoved underneath) Push on one side and then the other to see if there's any *rocking*.

999/1000 times with your symptoms, it's the cpu or memory not fully inserted.

HTH
