Does anything happen when you boot it? E.g Do the fans spin (cpu, case, power supply)?

If yes then unplug from the power outlet and reseat the vga, the memory modules and the vga EZ selector card. You see there is a possibility that something isn't making proper touch, especially this damn selector card. Then clear the cmos with the process described in the bios, reconnect with the power outlet and boot it.
Note: The memory modules should be in the A1 and B1 slots!

Now if you still have problems try booting with only one memory module. This must be in the B1 slot alone. If it boots go into the bios and set proper voltages and timings for your ram.

Plug some speakers into the green jack, and listen for a post error message

remove all your front panel connectors (hd/power lights, restart switch, etc) and connect only the power. try it then. also reseat cpu make sure the 4 pin connector is connected.

When i got my first board it would not post. 9 Sticks of ram, 2 cpus, 3 video cards and about a day of hassle later i bought another and RMA'd the first. It worked.

Apparently there are a few dead boards going out.

Few recomendations though:
1) remove all non essential componants (hdd, addon cards, cdrom's etc etc)
2) failing that take the cmos battery out for a few hours as these boards have the head of an elephant with regards to clearing the cmos.
3) Check your memory on the asus website "Memory QVL" http://uk.asus.com/products/mb/socket939/a8nsli-d/overview.htm#
4) Its a dead board...

ok the board stopped powering on... so i called asus and got my rma approved. hopefully, my next board wont be as bad. but 2 weeks! like many ppl i wanted to throw my board out the window and even considered another board.

Did you connect the 4-pin ATX12V from the power supply?
