GA-MA770T-UD3P Not POSTing

[mumbojumbotron]

Hello, I just got a GA-MA770T-UD3P mobo and an AMD Athlon II X3 435 processor.

After putting my system together I powered on, all fans spin but the screen stays black and I hear three long beeps a short pause and then it repeats the beeps. I assume this is actually the 'continuous long beep' which the manual states is a graphics card error.

I have reseated two different videocards in the slot multiple times but everytime it ends with the beeping. Both video cards work (tested in a different system).

I have also tried starting without the videocard and also without the RAM installed. It always ends with the beeps.

Is there something that I could be doing wrong? Could the slot be damaged and I just need to RMA it?
