Initial Boot Problems, Please Help

[mhogan001]

I just finished putting together my first computer. When I go to boot it up initially for BIOS the tower power indicator lights up and both CPU and Power Supply fans turn on. I get no beeps and nothing on my monitor. It doesn't sound as if my hard drive is running either. Could someone please help me???

:confused: :(

Go into the bios settings and check to see if it is recognizing you HD Also what type HD SATA, IDE

Apperantly the motherboard was grounded because I put in some seperators between the screws and now the hard drive winds up. I am still not getting any visual on my monitor, nor do my Floppy / CD drives show any power.

Take the motherboard OUT of the case and try it.
