Asus Striker Extreme crashing in BIOS

[ReinhardHeydrich]

I can not get my Striker Extreme to work properly. I have taken out battery, pushed "clear CMOS" button several times, and it still will always crash after I am in the BIOS for 30 secs to 2 mins. Any advice for this problem? It has 1305 BIOS.

I've taken out stuff for testing, and it now has...

QX6850 CPU,
two BFG 8800GTX OC2s,
750W Corsair PSU,
2GB Corsair DDR2 Dominator memory,
DVD burner,
floppy,
two 150GB Raptors,
watercooling

* Start the process of elimination, by removing all excess components.
Strip down to 1 HD, 1 video card, etc.
* Unplug PS and clear CMOS memory.
* Double check water cooling blocks, tubing, pump, radiator.

I now have it at 1 Raptor HD, one new stick of cheap Kingston 1GB DDR2 4200 533MHz, one floppy, one video card. I can not even got it to POST anymore. I think the mobo is defective or something...cpu init.
