Hi I recently just got a MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard and can not get it to boot with a 750w power source. Oddly enough a 650w and a 500w turns everything on just fine but then i got the board for crossfire use so those wont cut it. Even more strange is that the same 750w, same cpu, fan, ram, hardrive, cd drive, and graphic card all starts up just fine on a SLI board with a similar chip set. So what am i doing wrong am i missing something? The boards led comes on and when no graphic card is installed it will boot up after pressing the on switch on and off afew times. Please help its a drag to have 2 high powered graphics cards and not be able to use them both. T_T

K9A2 Platinum
AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+
4 gig of DDR2
ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT (currently just 1)
500w power source (gets the job done)
