cant figure it out help me plz

ive got:

MB: K7sem
Pro: athlon 900mhz
mem: 1x256 133mhz
vid: geforce 2 mx 400

Ok so heres the situation...I know the processor works because i placed it in a different MB and it worked fine... I know the ram works because i did the same with that. along with the video card. My problem is that when i hook up my stuff to the K7sem board and start it up it doesnt boot up. The fans spin and what not but nothing comes to the screen. I tried using the onboard video too and that still didnt work. If you have any suggestions plzzzzz let me know.

Take the mobo out, check it to see if it shorted somewhere when first fitted, then start again!

Make sure everything is seated firmly in their slots. Check to see that the motherboard isn't shorting out on an errant post or piece of metal in the case.

Try this. Take the motherboard out of the case and place it on the antistatic bag it was packaged in and then try booting it.

one last thing you could check is to put in another power supply in it may not be supplying enough to the motherboard also try resetting the cmos with a jumper on the motherboard or by removing the battery
