Are you sure that you plugged the extra power cable into your mobo? (ATX power with extension AND the extra 4 pin cable)

 

[MrMet]

yes, both power cables plugged into mobo

- check your vedio cable, replace one if you have one handy

- check your mobo handbook, make sure RAM in the right slot.

- unplug one of your RAM

- make sure CPU contact is right, CPU fan is properly attached

- try to use another vedio card

-unplug those indicator connectors (only leave the soft power one so you can still turn system on)

check the power going into the vid card.

Sometimes new mobo needs CMOS reset before it'll boot. Give that a try too.
