When I turn the system on, it goes through the POST, the motherboard beeps once. If I press any key before the post that is supposed to do something when the "Press DEL to set up BIOS" it doesn't do anything.
System: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/abstractoid/saved/2b9W
I have also used the ASRock 990fx Extreme3 motherboard. I have tried another stick of ram-8GB DDR3-1333- and it doesn't change anything. I plan to use SLI with 2 GTX 660 Tis, so I have 2, I have used both of them and neither work. I've tried putting my Windows 8 installation disk and the Gigabyte driver disk in the drive, but that doesn't do anything either.
I called my dad's IT guy and he couldn't figure it out, so he told me to call tech support, and tech support told me to return the board and get a new one, but the new one is doing the exact same thing.
The only thing I haven't tried is a different model graphics card and another processor, but I don't think that is it because if the CPU was broken, the system wouldn't even start (or would it?) and if the GPU was broken, I wouldn't be getting anything on the display.
I have cleared the CMOS on both boards and it has done nothing, and I have tried 2 different keyboards, one is PS/2, the other is USB, neither got me any further, but I know they are both working because I can press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart the system and it works perfectly.
