computer won’t post?

hello all. I recently got a new motherboard – GA-7vt600, with a Athlon Xp 2600 and 512 mb DDr-400 micron ram. At first, the computer ran without a hitch. Then, when I started turning on my computer, it went on a loop, continually saying “Award Bios Boot Lock” and then something about a hard drive bios boot? The computer whould then restart, and then go back to that screen. I restarted the comp using the restart button while it was on the Award Bios Boot Lock screen, and now it will not even start up. I push the power button, and all the drives start up, my hard drive light comes on, my lan card light comes on, and the RAM LED comes on. The fans come on in my comp also. However, there are no beeps, and my monitor stays dark and in standby mode. I tried clearing CMOS by taking out the battery, which did not work. What could be the problem?
