Foxconn a BAD product?

or do I just not know what I am doing.....I have receieved 2 Foxconn 1366 Flaming Blade mobos from newegg...1 coming from CA and the other from Memphis, TN....both shut down shortly after powering on and making it past the mobo logo....I used 2 different power supplies in them and I get the same result....is there ANYTHING I could b doing wrong...I have built systems b4 and never had an issue...I contacted Foxconn and 4 days later I have no reply from them...please help me if u can

what would cause this to happen...how can I mess up the build procedure...u just connect the stuff to where it goes and push power...I put in 2 different video cards....2 different power supplies....I had 3 sticks of ram and tried it with only 1 stick and switched it from all 3 slots...same result....the more times I try to boot it the faster it shuts down...this clearly indates a heat issue somewhere...bc when I let it sit there for a while it makes it all the way past the mobo log screen to tell me that I dont have a hard disk....I put in a hard drive from another computer that has Win XP installed on it...it actually makes it to the Window loading screen then shuts down....the CPU is the only thing I cant swap out bc I dont have another 1 to fit....can the CPU cause this?

I actually removed the heatsink completely and unplugged the fan and the boot stopped and told me that the fan wasnt spinning and to shut down immediately....I know the CPU is in there the right way too bc of how the socket is made the only way it will fit is the right way...I have the cpu paste applied and its the stock intel heat sink...I pushed the 4 pins down in it then I tried to lift it from each corner and they r in there....I figured that if it were a specific hardware problem that it would shut down at the same point in the boot when it gets to that hardware issue...however when it shuts down depends on hown many times in a row I try to power it up bc if I let it sit there powered off then turn it on I will always get to my farthest point which is it telling me hard disk failure which I guess is bc I dont have an OS on it....then when I try to power it on over and over it shuts down faster and fater until it does so immediately on power up...I'll be getting in a new I7 920 around thursday so I guess I will try it if none of your suggestions manage to work...I have already RMAed 1 board so I am gonna hold onto this 1 till I can try another CPU
