take the videocard and 1 stick of ram out

why didn't you say that

Just make sure all components are secure then, like really, give them an extra push.

Mobo with no integrated video? Anyways, try removing each memory stick and try again, then switch them up in the DIMMS. Does your mobo have integrated sound? If so, take everything out and try turning it on and see if it beeps, you may have a defective board. You could also have a bad power supply, so look for any indicators like a red light or something on it. I have a Biostar board and AMD processor and it definitely lights up the inside of the case when I turn it on

What, the price? Frys and Microcenter always have crazy good deals on stuff like that. That's actually the same processor I have in my build I am on now, but my Biostar mobo is the TA790GXE 128MB with integrated sound and video. Contact Biostar's support number if you have to or Fry's and they'll give you an RMA to send it back
