Computer Won't Start

So I take my computer over to a friend's house for a little LAN party. Before I leave my computer starts up just fine with no problems. I go over to my friend's house, set everything up and press "Power." What happens next is my monitor says it's on, my computer says it's on, but their is no...

Would you go into detail as to why?

3700+ or X2 3800+

I'm building a new computer, and I have all of my components selected except for one: the CPU. I was originally going to go with a 3700+ as it was cheaper and seemed to offer the same gaming performance as the X2 3800+. My question to you all is if I should go with the 3700+ or the X2...

What kind of motherboard should I go with? I will probably overclock in a year or so; so I looked at the DFI Lanparty. I hear it's pretty cumbersome, though. What is the best motherboard I can get for around 100 dollars. I do not want an SLI or Crossfire board.

About that Patriot RAM, I heard it "didn't offer as many FSB speed options" than the OCZ RAM that mentioned. How does that affect me?

Would it be wise to go with a different socket motherboard since 939 is going to fade out? How would that affect me as far as upgrading is concerned? Also, what's the advantage of going with DDR2 RAM, and what does unbuffered or registered RAM mean?

This computer is going to be built for 90% gaming and 10% internet browsing. That's all. That's why I feel inclined to go with a single-core AMD. However, I'll took a good look at what you mentioned.

How much better are the changes that you made from what I had originally?

I've been kind of worried. Do I need to wait for the new MBs to come out. Is it wise to go with 939 if it's going to be killed in a few weeks? I'm the kind of guy that upgrades every two-three years or so, and so I'm not really a monthly upgrader.

Yeah, I was looking at the 7900GT, but it runs just about the same as the 7900GT for a lot less. That, and it would be wise not to get a current-gen card when so much change is around the corner (DX10 and all that).

This is my first attempt at building a computer. I'm a very anxious buyer, particularly with these kind of things. I've spent the last month revising what I plan on purchasing in a week (my AP tests are done and over with). This is what I have now. You all are the experts, so please disect...
