new system wont boot, correct raptor settings?

[imported_Mike]

my new system wont boot, i get no error beeps, and everything seems to have power.

2.8c
asus p4p800 D
2x512 pc3000 hyper x
ati 9800 non-pro
sb live
2x wd raptors
3 optical drives
1 fan bay
antec trueblue 480w
4 fans
3 ccfl

any incapatibilities with these? knowing me its some little mistake, but ive checked things numerious times. Ive swaped out 3 dif video cards and still recieve no signal from my monitor. Ive checked the monitor on a dif computer and everything is fine. I have yet to instal the mobo drivers/win xp/ or anything else. If i can get into the bios i would like to set the raptors up in raid 0. Thanks.

edit: see post 7, i think it might be the raptors, anyone know the correct jumper settings for 2 raptors?

what monitor are you using? I had a similar problem and I switched from DVI to analog inputs and poof it worked. The only thing I can think is its ddefaulted to a non supported res. Set everything up and switched back to dvi and it works perfect. Thinking back I probably would have played with the buttons on the monitor to see if I could fix it.

take mobo out of box and try booting. might be shorting out.

check for shorting, also move the ram to different slots.

hmm, might be it. Its a viewsonic lcd set on 1280 x 1024.

why would it be shorting? according to the asus mannual, with 2 dimms of memory, there is only 1 option of placement for the ram.

I don't know if that was the problem or not. I do know it worked though and that was the only thing I could think of. Ihave a 191t so given the coincidence I would try it.

ok, what would cuase shorting?

ive changed out the video card, taken out everything in my pci slots, unplugged my optical drives, changed out the ram. Im strarting to think its my raptors. Anyone know the correct jumper settings for 2 raptors?

Factory default settings, 1st 2 pins closest to 4 pin power connector shorted.

Btw-I thing what they mean by shorting is that your case may be shorting out your motherboard------------------Take the motherboard out of the case------------------------ ------------------Hook up Only! the bare essentials---------------------------
then try to boot.
