Double, no triple check that the heatsink is correctly fitted to the cpu. Make sure that the cutout end of the heatsink corresponds to the raised part of the socket. Ensure that the cooling fan is plugged in and operating correctly.

After you reset the cmos, you will need to adjust the date and time. Also have a look that all of your drives are correctly identified.

Install nothing but RAM, CPU, videocard and internal speaker to your motherboard.
Do you hear any beeps? Are you sure your videocard and ram are not defective?
Post more information (brand and type) about motherboard and cpu, it might help more.
