I should start from the beginning.
When I recieved the package, the first thing I noticed was that the cpu had a couple slightly bent pins, enough that it wouldn't go into the socket. I fixed that and tried to boot up, no luck. I tried the jumpers, clearing the cmos, different memory (though my only 2 sticks are both the same model kingston ram), nothing. I didn't try insert though, I'll have to try that later. But I tried the processor in my motherboard that I'm using now, and it wouldn't boot. And I tried my processor that I'm using now in their motherboard, and nothing then either. They can't both be bad... I don't think I'm doing anything wrong but it must be something I'm not trying.
