It sounds like there's a problem with the mobo. Does it POST?

 

[xaximov]

well i guess not, no beeps nothing, could it be the bios version of mobo doesn't support the cpu i want to use?

 

[wait321]

It should. Try plugging in just the psu, ram, cpu, and cpu fan and see if it posts.

 

[xaximov]

but that's what i have right now, just ram, cpu, cpu fan, but no post

Your description is still a bit vague. First step is to make sure all connections are properly made. If you forgot to plug in the square 4 pin connector on your motherboard then you will get no image.

i am pretty sure all the connections are properly made

Check/play with your RAM. Put it to 1Gig and try different spots.

And as said above, check your cables.

Some PSU have a 4 + 4 plug and only one
of the 4 works the other is different.

Also double check the directions...
For plugging in PSU to motherboard.
For which slots to put memory.
For which memory to use.
For which CPU's work.
