In my experiences regarding pc building this could be a couple different things, but first I need to know if the mobo is powering up at all?

1. You could have hooked up the small case wires wrong and it is not getting power.

2. Your CPU and/or Mobo has shorted out.

3. A component is not seated properly ( ram, pci cards, agp cards, cpu)

Try to power up the mobo with no extras hooked up, by extras I mean hdd fdd, sound card. Only use the video, ram, & cpu. It should atleast boot the bios info. If you still get nothing, you may have damaged your mobo and/or cpu. If this is the case, you should consult with a tech and be prepared to replace both. In many cases the mobo and cpu are both damaged. (not always) You should visit a local tech to be absolutely sure. My first recommendation would be to visit the place you bought it from.
