I am in a fucking fit of rage right now. About a year ago my gaming desktop friend due to a power surge from a lightening storm. My family doesn't have alot of money so I just recently replaced the motherboard, power supply, ram, and processor with Christmas money.
Cut to today. Parts got here. I got everything hooked up all fine. I installed Windows and got all my drivers and applications set up. Got Steam started and got a few games downloading. I left for an hour or so while the games were downloading and game back to the computer presumably in sleep. Orange light on monitor, etc. I couldn't wake it from sleep with mouse or keyboard so I hit the power button on my case to turn it off. I pressed the power to turn it back on and nothing. I get the leds and fans (including CPU fan) powering on when I press power but it doesn't boot.
I already:
CLeared the cmos by removing battery.
Moved the jumper to clear cmos.
Discharged the mobo completely and let it sit for 30 minutes then tried again.
Any help? Right now I'm near to tears with this. I disconnected the power cord and discharged the system by pressing the power button multiple times to clear any electricity out. I'm planning on just letting it sit overnight and praying that it will boot tomorrow.
Please, help.
If there are any beeps from the motherboard or a series of 4 numbers/letters that are lit up in a specific pattern, you can pinpoint what the error is.
also, check the obvious - your VGA/DVI/HDMI cable may be loose... again, obvious, but you never know...

No beeps or specefic lights that I can hear or see.
Did you apply the thermal paste properly? it might have overheated
I have an AMD Athlon II so the heatsink just has the patch of paste on the heatsink that I pressed on then secured down.
Do the LED lights and fans stay on when you press the power button?
