u mean the POST not the BIOS, BIOS is something you get on hitting f1 or equivalent.

check your display device settings and refer the manual if required.

do you hear a short beep when u switch your pc on?
maybe your monitor isnt able to show the POST, happens on the large screen LCD's when there is a resolution conflict. if you hear a long cont. beep then your RAM is faulty or loose.
checked the power supply ?
if no beep at all the retrace your wiring and double check it.

the video card could need an external power cord. check that.

double check the power chords running from the smps to the mobo. if you have made a wiring error or a short then sometimes the mobo doesnt power on to prevent damage or mayb it has already been damaged !

check the jumper settings and refer the instructional manual.

hope you had grounded yourself properly while wiring. static from your body can kill the chips it comes in contact with. keep your fingers crossed on that.

the fans work properly cause they are directly powered by the smps ofcourse unless you mean the fans that are connected to the mobo (eg.varying speed).
SMPS should be atleast 400W of true power.

INFO needed..
you need to tell which video card you used , which display device you are using and your SMPS wattage and company.

also if you hear any beeps on power up.. long/short or any other pattern.

a way to boot it up is to take the board out of box...clear CMOS and BIOS and then boot it with one stick on ram in the DIMM4 slot and then enter bios...change the CD drive to first boot then HDD and floppy then insert Os disk...hit F6 install the Raid drivers...then instal OS...some devices wont boot i have the same issue on the Platinum K8Neo2..

When you build your own and can't post, chances are you either put something in the wrong place, missed something all together or you have a bad board. Recheck everything you plugged to the board and use the manuals for both the case and the mobo to verify its right. One of the most common errors is with connecting the case lines to the motherboard. If its a switch (power or reset) it can go on either way, if its a light or speaker it must be connected the right way one is positive the other negative and reversing them can cause problems. If your pretty sure you have the case connection correct remove anything you don't need like usb or firewire (case to board) to check if they cause the problem. Some of the connectors I have used for these devices are complicated and frustrating to get right. Make absolutely sure your processors heatsink fan is connected to the right fan plug, if its not the board will read no fan and will not start. make sure the heatsink seated properly to the proc, if you put it on backwards it will not make a flat contact and the board will fault from heat. If all else fails, remove everything and start again from scratch. There are so many things that can go wrong and when you find what you missed or did wrong you'll probably hit yourself in the head and call yourself an idiot like I do.
