DFI Lanparty SLI-DR not booting up

[The Pentium Guy]

Hey

I just finished a build with the following parts
DFI Lanaprty SLI-DR
Enermax SLICertified 535W PSU
eVGA 7800GT
3800+ X2
OCZ Gold Edition PC3200

Not sure what's going on, I connected the debug LEDs but nothing's showing up on the LEDs either, no beeps from the board either. The standby power LED is working, and the DRAM power LED is working. We tried booting barebones (only RAM, CPU), nothing's working. We tried booting up with only 1 stick of RAM (both sticks individually in Slot 1, 3, and 4). Nothing.

Any hints?

Thanks,

you got both the power plugs from the PSU plugged into the mobo?

There's acutally 4 for the DFI - and yeah I got em all.

 

[The Pentium Guy]

WOAH!

We disconnected the other 2 power things (and left on the 24-pin and the 4-pin) and it started up... (just the fans)

We're testin with a monitor now...

 

[The Pentium Guy]

Damn.
Debug LED 2 3 and 4 are working, meaning it's "System Bootup Failure"..

Nothing appears on the monitor either.

Edit: Not sure why, but plugging in the 2 other power connectors again ... didn't do anything so I decided to leave it there.

Gotta admit, that debug LED sure does come in handy. The machine is up and running, we're installing windows on it now 😉.
