Check to make sure everything is seated, and swap out RAM if you can. The ROM tone is a sign the board should work, but you never know. Post up as much info on your troubleshooting so we can figure out whats going on with it.

well it makes the BONG noise and it acts like it is going to start up the sreen turns on like it is supposed to but then it turns right back off. I have tried switching HD at least 8 of them and it doesnt seem to matter wut kind of HD i have in it. everything is in its right spot im pretty sure but i will make sure once i get home.
I don't think that its a HD issue. Seems like it could be a power issue maybe, or like Whitlock said RAM possibly. I would mess around with some things to try and pin point it a little further.
