Okay;

I had an Asus Rampage II motherboard with 6GB of DDR 3 1600mhz RAM (Kingston) and 8 each 1TB USB external Buffalo drives serving as my movie server. I decided to upgrade to an Antec 12-Hundred-Two tower case with 8 each Caviar Black 2TB 3-1/2" internal drives, 24 GB DDR 3 1600mhz RAM (Corsair), Asus Rampage III motherboard for the 9 each SATA drive inputs. I am using a Cool Master 600W PSU.

Well, Rampage III would not boot up, even after I stripped back to nothing. She powers up the CPU and all that but no video.

So, I took it all apart and tried the Rampage II and same exact thing thing.

Any ideas? I've got about $4K in stuff and none of it seems to work. I am totally stumped. I have built about 30 PC's for my own use over the last 20 years so I am not new to the assembly process but this is the first time I have had this level of difficulty.

I appreciate any ideas and help on this.
