Cant get built comp to POST (4 green LED)

MSI P6N SLI-FI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard -
Retail
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz LGA 775 Processor Model
BX80557E6850 - Retail

The Motherboard supports 1333 FSB, and thats what my processor runs
at.

I have no onboard video and I do not have a floppy drive either.

I was able to make all nine stand-offs match 9 of the motherboard
holes, although I only had 8 screws, so I didnt screw one of them in,
but it seems sturdy.

Another thing is that my ram runs at 1.9v - 2.0v and my MB recommends
1.8v ram, but I have heard on more than 1 occasion of people using ram
over the voltage and it working. Wouldn't my D-bracket show a memory
problem if it was? Anyway, heres the ram I'm using:

G.SKILL 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model
F2-6400PHU1-1GBNR - Retail

edit: also... how loud should my processor be? I don't think I'm
hearing any processor grinding on power up, but my D-bracket never shows
faulty processor. If it doesn't post, then the processor won't make much
noise anyways right?

You could try disabling the floppy controller in the BIOS. Which PCI-e
slot are you using? Have you tried the other one?

ATX12V power cable plugged into the board ? Modern motherboards have
at least two power connectors, the main one (probably 24 pins), and the
one for the processor (either 2x2 or 2x4, use 2x2 cable anyway).

Second thing to check, is find your motherboard on the MSI site,
and check which version of BIOS is needed to run a FSB1333 processor.
Some motherboard products place a sticky label on the BIOS chip, with
the current revision of firmware recorded on the label. If the number
on the label indicates the BIOS is quite old, that could be a reason
it won't start properly.
