what roms have you tried? how long are you waiting? some of these new roms at least for me have taking quite a bit longer then the froyo roms. so i would be patient and let it do its thing.

The main ones that i have tried have been synergy roms and i understand that they take a while but i hit install zip from sd card on RA and clicked one of the Synergy roms and it didnt do anything for 10minutes and RA has the prgress bar in the back and it didnt do anything either it stayed black the entire time... and it will sit on the Bright white HTC evo screen for about 5-10 minutes and thats when i decide to go ahead and pull battery and boot into recovery.. i can try and just install a zip and just let my phone sit for a good 20mintues to make 100% sure that it isn't that im inpatient. lol

These newer Rome are a lot larger than what we're used to flashing. It takes a substantial amount of time to build the dalvik cache when it boots the first time. I hope that's the rub of your issue, and not something more serious.
yeah last night i flashed synergy nightly and i let let my phone sit for 15-20minutes and then it finally finished im having problems with the rom but i believe thats software problems not hardware does it matter if my phone sits on the White HTC evo screen and doesn't move for like 10+ minutes i havnt flashed one of the roms that had that problem with yet so i dont know if just waiting will fix that or if their is a problem their...
