Either something is hooked up wrong or the board is not getting enough power. What board do you have?

I had the exact same problem with my DFI SLI board i'm using now and it turns out, I had an 'extra' 4 pin power cable hooked up to the board when I should not have. Go over the entire board and make sure you have all connections hooked up including the 4 pin power connector.
