So I just got a P5E3-Deluxe board and installed everything then power up. The Asus Express gate logo appear then 3 secs later the system just shut down by itself. I turned it on again and same thing happened. What's wrong with it? I heard lots of ppl are having this problem ? And they have to flash it? but how can i flash it when I can't even get in the bios because the system will shut down after 5 secs. So should I return this board? or keep trying? any help would be appreciated.

Also I forgot to mention that I have a Q9540 cpu, 1333mhz DDR3. these worked perfectly with my old P5k/EPU board (Im using right now to post this thread :))
