I think my computer died

Well, I wasn't trying to jump conclusions, I'm just really frustrated right now. I did have the HD and Mem connected when I tried. Here's what I bought last week...

Athlon 1200
Thermaltake superorb
Gigabyte GA-7DXC
256 MB Crucial PC1600 CAS2
46.1 GB IBM Deskstar HD
Elsa Gladiac Ultra
Sony CPD-E500
SB Live Platinum
ATI TV Wonder
Pioneer 16X DVD
Plextor 12/10/32

So, I've been working on getting this thing together for about a week and a half now and I had it working as of 2 nights ago when I realized how high the temp was. I've been having problems with the stability of the system, so I was real careful when taking off the heatsink and made sure not to touch anything other than the HSF/Processor. Now, it's to a point where I get nothing but a black screen when I boot, so I'm just so tired of it. I think I'm going to spend tomorrow working on it, but if that doesn't work, I'm probably just going to return the parts and order new ones. It's not that big a deal, I just want the thing to work and to find an easy solution, which might be returns....thanks for your help, I'll let you know what happens tomorrow

lol That thermal tape is the worst thing you can use< arctic silver way to go,there are more than antec that they recomend.
You need to sit back and read this forum before you give advise. Or at least know all the facts. Do you even know what is going on with his comp?? If you did you would not have said anything.;
