Unhappy First build, won't work...

Hi everyone! I'm hoping someone here can help me. I just finished putting together my first computer and it won't load BIOS. It kind of stalls at the screen where it tells me to hit TAB or DEL. I have no idea what the problem is. Also, I hear a somewhat loud clicking sound almost like a fan hitting something as it spins, but I don't see this anywhere. One more thing, my optical mouse & keyboard aren't lighting up. I don't know if these are all separate issues or not, but I figured I'd let you know everything that's happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.h

Thanks! That made me realize that I was shorting my case by having too many mobo brackets on the plate. It's working fine now. Thanks again!
