A little help here please

Ok here I come again with another PC related problem.

I have a PC that I have upgraded from a socket 423 pentium 4, also the power supply has been changed.

Obviously I have had to change the motherboard also, along the way I change some RAM also.

So in this PC now is a new Asus motherboard, a new 2.8 ghz P4, a power supply I know works, and one bank of 512MB of RAM that I also know works (both from my PC)

Now, when I start the PC, everything spins (fans etc) I get no post BUT this is probably as the PC (a packardbell originally) has no case speaker. However I can get no signal on the monitor, I have tried both the on board graphics and also an AGP add on card.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like the RAM to me, try some different RAM if possible.
If you're running dual-channel try the other two slots.
