Weird K8N-DL behavior

After installing all the parts in my new K8N-DL I still haven't been able to get it to work. The first time I booted it up all the fans started lights came on etc, but I got no reading from my BIOS Post code reader and no monitor view. So I looked around and realised I hadn't plugged in the 8pin connector used on these server boards. So I plugged it in, flipped the PSU back on, pressed power and nothing. I get an 8th second flash of things going on, then it just shuts off. So I then proceeded to try outside my case, same result, and I can't even get the fans and stuff to spin up with the 8 pin unplugged anymore. Anyone have any ideas? Also if it requires it to be sent back should I send it to monarch or asus.

bump: for rewrite since I was rediculously tired when I wrote it... even I couldn't understand
