 HELP! New Machine wont boot.
I just got a new motherboard, video card, cpu, and RAM. The video card, RAM, and CPU got here first so I replaced the old parts with them, but kept the old motherboard. It was working fine for a few days with the new parts. The problem started yesterday when I went and pressed the reset button on my tower to restart the computer. It appeared to restart but then the monitor stayed black and the light on the monitor stayed orange. I flipped the power supply off and back on and rebooted again and this time the monitor came on but stayed on the initial screen and all the normally white text was orange. I rebooted again, this time the text was red and the same thing... didn't boot up. I rebooted one last time and then the monitor did nothing. I just got a No Signal message.
I tried a different monitor and nothing. I tried a different graphics card, same thing. I tried a different CPU and nothing! So I was bummed and quit for the time being and decided to wait for my new mobo, which was going to arrive last night. It arrived and I went and took the comp apart, installed everything assuming that the issue was with the mobo because I switched out all the other parts and the problem was still there. I started the machine and it STILL WONT BOOT! I then swiched the power-supply and still. Same thing. And it isn't the RAM because the new board uses DDR and my old one was SDRAM. So it is new RAM now as well. I have no clue what is wrong.
New Mobo: ASUS A7V8X
New Ram: 333Mhz PC2700 DDR
New Video Card: Gainward GeForce 4 TI4800
New CPU: Athlon XP2600
Please, I hope someone can help me out here.

no, its not the same model. and no, it doesn't post. It doesn't do anything at all. The keyboard doesn't even light up. I have an os installed though. Need to reformat and reinstall though. But I cant even get a signal to the monitor. With either mobo, 2 different CPUs, 3 different graphics cards and different RAM. And I tried with only RAM, CPU, and Video installed as well.

Have you took it out of the case and put it on a piece of cardboard and installed only the basics and then see what it would do.

Yeah do what lonewolfroger suggested as it would be the easiest. If you haven't done this before:
1. Place the motherboard on a piece of cardboard other other non-conductive surface.
2. Plug the powersupply connections into the motherboard.
3. Connect the hard drive alone to the first IDE channel (make sure the jumper is set correctly)
4. Connect the floppy drive to the floppy controller
5. Install the CPU and HSF making sure all pins are lined up and make sure to hook the power to the fan.
6. Install just one stick of RAM at this time.
7. Install your video card (and don't forget to hook up the extra power to it if it needs it)
8. Get into BIOS and select DEFAULT
Start with the power supply, if it doesn't come on try another. If it does but doesn't boot try a different stick of RAM etc. Just keep doing this until you can narrow it down. I kinda think maybe it is shorting somewhere in your case though.

Check your BIOS for power management settings...and also if it's(your BIOS) trying to boot to a Network....
Do you think maybe you hooked up yhe wrong voltage wire to the Reset button..?.when swapping parts..?
-
I could have switched the wires on the reset button. Also, on closer inspection of the CPU that was in the machine when the problem first occured, I believe that the CPU may have burned somehow. Because there is black around the core and it goes all the way through  I think when I reset the machine something was wrong (possibly the reset button wires) and it burned at least the CPU. Maybe more. If the mobo LEDs are on, the ethernet LEDs, the cold cathode light I have installed and the CD-Roms light up and get power, what could it be? The monitor just gets No Signal no matter what I do. What else could be burnt besides the CPU? Ive already tried different graphics cards, RAM, and Im using a different CPU now and still it wont get a signal to the monitor. And I am using a different monitor too.
