HD and CD spin is normal with power on, this isnt a sign that the system that the system has POSTed, you need to go back to the start and check all is as it should be.

If this isnt the first PC you have built then you will know what to check,

If this is your first PC then do the following

Unplug all things from the board, leave the CPU memory and video card, reset the BIOS, check the power cable is in place and the memory is in slot 0 or 1, ensure the CPU is seated correctly.

Try booting up and see what happens.

what type of monitor do you have? On some you can change from digital to analog by pressing a button. Do you get anything from the monitor? Do you have more then one plug on the video card? DVI and Analog? Have you tried using both?

i have 3 plugs on the back of the VGA i tried every one still dont work. i have a emachines monitor..
