uhm... 90% chance the motheboard wasn't compatible with what you decided to put in.

you might have been hearing the hard disks, fans, etc..

The motherboard isn't compatable with the processor. Go get a new motherboard, or stick with the old processor.

You could have also fried the board or the processor. Some fans would still go, but the hard drives would not.

Most likely you have a motherboard that is too old and will not support the PIII.
