I've got a question for you all: On a new build I'm doing I keep getting a long string of rapid beeping when I try to boot it, which the mobo manual labels as a power error. It doesn't POST, there's no video output, it just sits there beeping. This happens inside and outside the case, with or without a GPU, HDD or optical drive installed. I've tried moving the RAM around, using only one stick, etc. to no avail, and attempting to boot without any memory at all gives a RAM error beep sequence. I tested the RAM in another system, it's confirmed working. I've also tried multiple PSUs, several of which I know for a fact work, and all of which have more than a sufficient power rating. I have NOT checked the processor because at the moment I don't have another 1156 board available to me in which to test it, but at this point I doubt that's the issue.

(Fantastic check list by the way)
Yes I have the 8 pin connector attached to the motherboard.

I've got an RMA# from NewEgg already, and I'll probably be sending it in today or tomorrow, I just wanted to check in and see if anyone had any ideas as to what the issue could be apart from a faulty motherboard. If you think that at this point that's the only thing it could be, please go ahead and say so.
