New Build Wont boot

[slatchley]

Asus P6T, Core i7 920, 12gb corsair ddr3 1600 (TR3X6G1600C9 G), evga 9800gtx, power pc 750watt. This is only my second build. Last one three years ago booted right up. I turn on power and fans all work, lights go on, but nothing on the monitor. How do I even begin to trace the problem? Ram doesn't have lights like my last so I can't even tell if it is working.

So I started with 1 stick and it booted. Stuck in 3 sticks and it booted. What would you suggest? Can this combo not handle 6 sticks or should I start swapping sticks to see if a stick is bad? By the way-THANK-you! It gets pretty frustrating when you don't know what to look for.

You could try swapping sticks to see if one is bad.

That said, a lot of 4-DIMM motherboards have trouble running correctly with all slots populated. It stands to reason that a 6-slot motherboard might have the same kind of trouble, but I don't know for sure.
