Default Car won't start. Battery is brand new.

My car didn't start on Friday. I was pretty sure it was a dead battery because the car still had the original in it (Amazing). Got a new one in there and it still won't start. I have power everywhere.

When I turn the key it clicks and then dies. Sometimes, if I'm lucky it's almost sort of a squeal. I checked all the fuses and they all appear intact. No burns or anything.

Is this the alternator, starter, or something worse?

As I posted elsewhere, I was having AC problems and I tried reshimming with no luck.

Turns out the compressor is shot and locked up and holding the belt when I try to start the car. New compressor coming in and new belt. Hopefully no more problems after this as I have already replaced the transmission.
