I just bought a new ATX motherboard Biostar M7VIZ.

I also have 512 DDR RAM,
Nvidia Quadro 4 video card,
2.0 GHz AMD Athlon XP 2400+ processor,
400 watt ATX power supply
Maxtor Hard drive
Compaq CD-ROM

The problem is when I turn on the computer, I get no video, no post beep or anything.The fans on my motherboard spin and thats it. My keyboard does not get power. My CD-Drive does not even open. I can't insert a CD. I did notice this when I unplugged the IDE cable from the CD-Drive. My CD-Drive had power and was opening. I think thats the same problem with my hard drive. I don't know if this makes a difference but my Hard drive and CD-Rom are from my old computer. Which is about 6 years old. Can any one please help me?
