My old pc from Gateway was damaged. The fan of the power supply was dead, causing overheating. However, all other parts worked fine. So I tried to buy new parts and build a new PC myself. I took the following out of my old comp, and put them on my new comp :

I can turn on my computer, but no screen! it'd remains on, but nothing happens. I've tried putting 1 stick of RAM only, taking out sound card from motherboard, then turning on the computer. But still no luck :/ there's no beeping or anything.
Also, I've noticed that the activity LED on my Corsair RAM wasn't flashing when I turn on the computer. Does that mean my RAM is not compatible with my motherboard? Therefore unable to boot?
What other factors might be causing this? :*(
Please Please Please help the noobie ... thanks a loooooooooot !!!!!!!
