ummm, u get "nothin"? wat do u mean exactly? duz it post? duz it freeze at windoze boot process? if it duzn't even power up then make sure the power supply connector is attached to the motherbaord & also if the power supply has a switch (check the bak of ur pc) make sure its on.
if the above have both been already resolved, lemme know wat kinda board u usin & i'll help ya summore.

If you loan a friend $20 & never see them again, it was worth it.

you didn't say what cpu/mobo but i would re-seat the cpu (make sure it is firmly in place, especially if it is a slot cpu).

IT is a Abit KT-7a raid mobo using a socket a 1.2 ghz t-bird
Everything that is supposed to be connected is connected and i know it is gettin juice becuz i turn on power and cpu starts to emit heat, the fans turn on, tne monitor flickers cuz it registers a video card but i can get to the bios screen =( I dont know if i should try to jumpstart it or not....albeit im not too sure how to jumpstart it anyhow but that is the main prob. Please help if you can
Thanks

Make sure you are trying to get a post with only the vid card in. Also, what kind of heatsink are you using and what do you mean by it's emitting heat? Make sure the fan is working and that you aren't overheating....
