If you cant get to bios then it has nothing to do with your OS, monitor or anything else... The problem is at the motherboard level.
Bios comes straight from the motherboard, so you should be able to get to it even without a hd in your computer...
Make sure your processor is in correctly and is hooked up correctly...
Read your instructions to find out were to bios reset pin is, you can reset your bios and start out clean...insert one stick of ram, attach the keyboard and monitor and try again....f10 or f11 will lead you to your bios screen.
Use only Mobo, CPU, mem, power supply and monitor - Triodeuser 19:19:32 12/31/06 (1)
remove any other cards.
It should post - if it doesn't
Take everything out of the case and reboot it outside the case.
Just be sure nothing touches anything else and doesn't touch metal.
Again use only mobo, Cpu, mem, power supply, video - take everything apart and reseat everything carefully, when hooking up leads use only the power supply leads to the motherboard and the fan for the CPU - make sure the cpu fan well seated.
Don't hook up any of the other leads -
Use a screwdriver and short the power on leads/pins to boot it -
If it won't post and go to the bios, borrow or swap out and try another power supply.
If that doesn't do it, I think you're looking at calling tec support - or at least that's the best I can do at 10:00
- if you can't get it to run outside the case - Triodeuser 19:29:11 12/31/06 (0)
  make sure the the mobo is spec'ed for that particular CPU
  Make sure the mobo is spec'ed for that memory -
  Make sure the memory is in the right slots -should have said that earlier.
  if it won't run outside the case, the specs are right, won't run with a different power supply - you're down to mobo, memory and cpu
  Good luck
