    Default PC won't Boot

Monitor works completely fine, but the new PC isn't booting from the harddrive nor is it booting into BIOS there is no signal to the monitor but the fan runs and the motherboard lights all turn on. Maybe I forgot to hook-up something? Ah... I am terrible with hardware.

    Add the full specs including monitors.
    I don't know the specs. I'll make a thread...

    One of these: http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggIma...131-011-03.jpg (M2N32-SLI Deluxe)

    Two of these: http://img.clubic.com/00293540-photo...perclock-1.jpg (evga GeForce 7600 GT)

    The fans turn on, the graphics card and processor get hot, the motherboard light turns green... Can't get any lights on my USB keyboard or any signal to my monitor which is plugged into the graphics card. Here's my beautiful setup: http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps93dd9b43.jpg

    I'm thinking it's a problem with my keyboard or graphics card. Maybe the ports aren't powered on? I think I fail...

    Dual channel memory architecture
    4 x DIMM, max. 8GB, DDR2-800/667/533, ECC and non-ECC, un-buffered memory
    This is most likely a chipset limitation so no way around it.
    I suggest pulling out all but one RAM stick. This way it's not going past the memory.

    Does it beep upon booting as well? If so, once or more than once and how (if more than once)?

    Also, the graphic cards. You got those for free right? May I know which games you're planning to play with it? :o

    I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.

    EVE Online, League of Legends, Runescape. There is no beep, which worries me. I'll pull out some RAM. Lol you fixed it :P I had 16Gb RAM and when I pulled-out 8Gb it booted

    Well... You're SLIing 2 cards from 2005-2006. I'm pretty sure Runescape won't be that much of a problem but I'm afraid LoL and EvE will perform fairly bad.
    To make it even worse, the current EvE minimum requirements state it needs a 8600GTS. Although this is more of a safe-play adjustment, you could get burned if there's an update to the engine.
    I wish I could support you more about LoL but I don't know a single thing about it. :/
