Lets start with some troubleshooting here:
1. Make sure you have the power cables connected correctly, especially the 8pin CPU power cable. Make sure it is not a PCIe 8pin power cable.
2. Remove the CPU and check for bent pins in the socket and that the CPU was installed in the correct orientation.
3. Clear CMOS via the jumper being sure to follow the instructions in the user manual.
4. Try setting your BIOS to BIOS B via the BIOS select jumper.
If the chipset is heating up (and I assume you mean very hot) then there is some kind of short somewhere or the power is not correctly connected. Make sure the clear CMOS jumper is not set in the clear position. If none of the above steps help then post back here.
