E8400
Maximus Formula
2x 1 Gb Crucial Ballistix PC-6400
Gainward 8800 GT
Corsair HX620
Raptor 74 Gb

System powers up, system fan and videocard fan spin up.
All LED's are green (except HD, that one doesn't light up, but the Raptor is 100% OK)
Monitor stays black, no POST.
LCD poster shows: CPU INIT and then hangs at: DET DRAM

Any suggestions?

I don't have spare parts to exchange except a videocard but I doubt this will be the cause of my problem.

Unplug the system. (Or at least PSU cable)

Cycle the power, AKA hit the Power switch several times to get the last bit of electricity out (well, as much as you can at least).

Remove your ram modules. Reseat them.

Try to boot.

See if that does anything.

Always a good feeling getting a new system to work, grats man.
