Did you make sure that your Heatsink/Fan combo is plugged into Fan connector 1? I've heard reports that it won't boot up if don't have something on Fan 1.

If it was the video card, you would get 4 beeps. I would check (like above) for any wires you may have disconnected accidently. You may also need to reset the cmos.

reseat your memory. if it doesn't work... switch your memory around. keep doing that... if that doesn't work, then put a single dimm in the slot closest to the processor. my ka7 doesn't play nice with memory, but a few bios settings fixes most problems. of course it doesn't help if you can't get into the bios.
