Help!

I've tried to build my PC (Pentium D 805, Gigabyte Intel 945P board etc) and it won't POST or beep.

I put in the processor, heatsink, memory, graphics and did the case connections (power switch, etc). Turned it on, and the heatsink whirled and remained to whirl, but nothing happened. display can't detect a signal and I can't hear any beeps. I changed the PC speaker in case it was that, but it still won't beep.

I then removed the graphics, and memory to see if that will make it beep. It didn't. Took off the heatsink and process, and it still won't beep or POST.

Is the motherboard knackered? I don't think its shorting as the heatsink remains on, but i'm going to try it out the case anyway, just in case

What does everyone reckon?
