I just got my new PSU from OCZ through an RMA, and I have done a breadboard build. I get a red LED on the memOk area of the motherboard, however I have tried both 2gb sticks of ram in each of the 4 RAM slots (A1,A2,B1,B2). Do I need to buy a new motherboard? I am leaning towards Gigabyte z77d3h because I want a board that is reliable over feature filled.

No it does not. The red LED only stays on for a tiny bit. The PSU fan also stops spinning after a second or two. It seems like the system makes an attempt to turn on, waits a few seconds, then tries again.
