Attempted SLI, now it won't POST.

Rig in sig. Added a second 9600GT, same exact card.

I connected a 4pin molex to the motherboard as it is required for SLI. I failed to connect the 6pin PCIE power to the second video card. Powered on the PC, all fans turn on, HDD's sound active. Nothing on the screen, no power to keyboard. Powered off and connected PCIE power to card2, no change. Removed card2, now back to original config, no change. Removed all USB devices and connected a PS2 keyboard, no change. Cleared the CMOS overnight, still nothing on the screen, no power to keyboard. Any suggestions?
 
Maybe it killed your PSU? I've had PSU's that can still supply some power but something in them died so the power was not clean or could supply the right voltages.
 
I also reseated the RAM and unplugged the IDE optical drive. Same issue. P182SE does not have a PC speaker. I connected my receiver to the green audio connector for the on board audio. No POST messages heard. Though I did have the on board sound disabled w/i the BIOS, so I'm not sure if that system works.
 
Bump... any ideas anybody? I realized that clearing the CMOS reset the BIOS, so the on board sound should be active. Thought I think you have to have the AI POST installed before having an issue.
