This is a stab in the dark, but have you gone to the website of the maker of your board? Sometimes either newer CPU's and/or bugs related to older CPU's can prevent a post. The fact our fan a cpu fans come on tell me the board isn't completely dead. though have you tired yanking out the memory and seeing if you get the beeps associated with no memory installed? this is a way to see if your motherboard is on lifesupport or possible has a pulse.

Also, Not sure of what chipset you are running, but when i was out shopping for a C2D, the only prerequisite was that the board supported Quads even though I was buying a e6400 to pair with it. I don't know anything about the celeron D, but as far as the quad, many offer bios updates to either support it or improve bugs associated with it. If your board is a 945 chipset, I don't think you can run it period. Don't quote me, but the 945 is outdated and they are trying to keep it alive with a BS 1333fsb (via overclocking) stated right on the motherboards. My chipset is a 965 and support quads up to 1066fsb. Anything with 1333fsb should support all Q6600's. Anyhow, just got the latest CPU update for your board so here it goes. Looks like no problems should exist:
