I once had a great 1v1 late night marathon with Alien. I started with a new pc by the end of the night my pc looked just like that

Have u tested the floppy on a different computer...is it showing files? If u done the hardware part properly,it should boot from the floppy with no problem.There is another solution,if u have another computer where u dl-ed win there is a guide on the net how to make a winxp boot cd with nero...pretty simple actually if u have a burner.

BTW u say u bought new components...can u state here what were your old components,and what was your power supply brand and wattage.If u bought some new strong components maybe your power supply isnt strong enough for it.Does your computer shows the POST screen when u turn it on at all,where it says the speed of your processor and amount of system RAM right after u turn on your computer?
