ok

Any update on 3-3-3 timings then, Im @ work now and just cant wait to get home

[burn what?]

just got the board, set everything up, appears to be D.O.A. any tips/suggestions for getting to work? i tried different video card, cheaper memory, even different e6400 from another system that i know is good. appears to be the board unless there's some known issue other than memory which i already tried that makes it not post. is there a clear cmos, am i just missing it? tried pulling battery still no go.

I got the same problem, well I guess I do. The board does actually start, in the sense that it powers up and start feeding the cpu, rams and gfxs and fans. BUT, the boot sequence doesnt begin. I've hooked up my debugger card and I just get two dots, no error code.

Thing is, it behaved like this for a couple of hours last night. Then, all of a sudden it booted just fine. I got into bios and set default setting for my things (read tweaked, no overclock) , rebooted and reinstalled windows.

Couple of hours later, i tried to connect another gfx for SLI. Back to no-boot-mode.. Removed one stick of ram, resetted bios, removed battery, NOTHING.

Just got tired and went to sleep. Tried again this morning, no boot, powered down, tried again, no boot, and again and again, on the fifth try it booted.. and then behaved just fine..

Any suggestions to why this should happen?

Not a clue sorry but smells like an RMA is coming.

that's EXACTLY what mine is doing. board draws power, all fans start, etc. i haven't even seen a post screen yet though. you give me hope that enough reboots maybe it will eventually come up. i can still rma to the egg so not panicing yet, but this is not a good first impression for the nvidia chipset!!

With the ram in the black slots only. Try a power up with the monitor off until it posts them turn the monitor on. If doesn't work try flipping the SLI selector card around single, duel, back to single, duel if you want SLI
