ASUS P8Z77-V lk
i5 3570k
8 Gb Kingston DDR3 (Supported list) and/or 8 Gb Patriot DDR3 (Not on supported list)
GTX 260
Samsung 830

Try to boot with both dimms Patriot + GPU. DRAM Light comes on, computer runs no post no beep.
Try to boot with one dimm Patriot + GPU. No DRAM Light but nothing happens. No DRAM Light, computer just runs, no post no beep.

Went out and bought supported memory.

Try to boot with both dimms Kingston + GPU. DRAM Light comes on, computer runs, no post no beep.
Try to booth with one dimm Kingston + GPU. No DRAM Light, computer runs no post no beep.

Tried individual dimms in individual sockets. No DRAM Light, computer runs no post no beep.

Removed GPU, no post or beep, try's to boot old install of windows on SSD. Pressing delete + f2 + esc randomly nets bios, but no splash screen, no beeps nothing.

Anything else to do before trying RMA?

I would say that you've gone above and beyond the average level of troubleshooting done before people request an RMA. You may want to give a few others a crack at suggesting additional tests, but if you're in the US I can set up the RMA for you if you want to send me an email or PM.

Are you using 8 PIN +12V aux molex not 4 pin?
No BRD (Blue Ray Drive)?
No TV Tuner?
Do NOT use PS/2 port
Remove vidcard put VGA cable from monitor to onboard Intel VGA
Go into bios and set IGPU as primary in graphics config
reboot and it takes a few seconds to show first time - give it a chance.
Is GPU boost switch just above 24 pin ATX enabled or disabled

Have you actually found a solution for your problem or did you RMA it? I ran into exactly the same problem. This is the first PC builds I'm doing I so thought I broke something while installing everything but as I'm not the only one with this problem, I guess there must be something wrong with the board :-(

This board seems to be configured with the onboard video enabled, I know Im late to reply but wanted to see if anybody here has tried it? Use either the DVI port or the HDMI port, to see if you can enter the BIos to enable PIC-e video.......

Yes I sent it back to the reseller and they found no problem...after putting everything together I did install everything before I inserting my GTX 670 and it worked. Not sure if it was because of the onboard graphic or because off missing cables...

missing cables. things don't run correctly without power.
