another SLI-deluxe propblem

Hi,
Recently i installed a second 6800GT to my system, and now i can't boot my system up. It gets through all the bios checks and all that, but right when its supposed to load windows/bootable cd, it freezes.

Initially i thought it maybe a HD problem, but i pluged it into another computer and it worked fine, and also tried booting my computer with a different HD, same problem.
Even when i boot up of the windows CD, it says. checking hardware config, then it freezes. Bios also recognises all my drives and the HD with model/size.

I have also tried booting of a floppy to flash the bios back to an old version (currently 1016) and same problem, wouldn't hand controll over to me, just sat with the flashing dash. I have also tried using just one 6800GT, same issue

I am now officially out of ideas on whats wrong. This is my second SLI-deluxe MB as my first one wouldn't function on 3 of the 4 ram slots so i could only have 512mb instead of 2gb.

My system:
Asus SLI-deluxe 1016 bios
AMD FX-55
2*XFX 6800GT's
4*512mb corsair 3200XL
600W Silenx PSU
Seagate 120gb sata
1 samsumg DVD combo
1 Pioneer DVD burner
1 Floppy drive

If any one has any suggestion i would be very greatful.
cheers
 
not entirely sure, i just pulled everything and re-built the system and it worked normally, so im not sure what happened just glad to have it going.
cheers
