How do you know it's powering up? is your drive spinning? Does this board have onboard video? If so can you switch to that and load up? Can you take a card from another pc and drop it in?
3 pc's you should be able to knock out a lot of our questions even as a novice. If you are not showing a post then it's the board or card OR power supply not getting enough to the board or card.
If you see nothing from power on forward then the hdd isn't even a factor so don't be a retard and demagnetize it(for shame people). Your board should at least post before it even looks at drives.
Another issue might be a bad stick of ram. take it/them out and test that out. If multiple, try one at a time, if solo try new ram. You rig can't be that new I assume since you don't know too much about pc's so RAM won't cost more that $35-40 and worst case you upgrade your ram anyways. Never a bad thing.
PM if you need something else, I don't get up this way a lot.
