FIrst Build Issues

Me and my buddy are building our first computer together. Right now we are having a few problems. On boot up, nothing shows up at all, video card is getting power because the videocard heatseak is working.

Second problem is when i have the ribbon plugged into the cd-rom the cd-rom wont open, but when the ribbon is unplugged it will.. Odd?

Welcome to PCMech. You may want to follow the advice found HERE in HAL's troubleshooting guide.

As for the CD-ROM, be sure you have the correct ends of the IDE cable to the mobo and optical drive and that you're jumpered correctly.
