Forum Motherboards & Memory : Asus Asus Maxiumus III Gene Help

Word :    Username :           
 

Hello,
I recently built a new system with the Asus Maxiumus III Gene and when I put everything together and switched on the PSU and pressed the power button but nothing happened, except for the 'Start' and 'Reset' buttons flashing and this badge near the video cards flashed as well. Does anyone know what this means and what I could do to get my computer to start? Thanks a bunch.

Edit:

I tried another PSU and this time the badge near the video card lit up, it didn't flash, and the buttons didn't light up at all. I'm wondering if I got a faulty PSU. The PSU is a Corsair 750W.
