I tried building a computer for my first time. I got a ATX motherboard from a compaq d530 and powersupply, a pentium 4 proccessor, and I had all the other stuff. I put it in this case, and got all the stuff in there good, and put the thermal grease on the CPU/heatsink. I plugged it in and pluged a monitor in, turned it on, and it came on, but the screen stayed blank. The monitor light went amber, so it was plugged in, just nothing was appearing. I tried it on the intigrated grapics port and an AGP and the same thing happened. I don't have much of a clue what the problem it so any help would be greatly appretiated. It doesn't even beep or anything. All the fans turn on, and it sounds like it's on, but nothing come up on the screen.
