680i SLI is too expensive? Asus as the solution : P5N32-E SLI PLUS

[pifive]

Hello guys ... I have been following this thread for some time already.. pretty much from last year when I decided to build a new rig. In December I finalized my build and everything worked fine .. right until yesterday when I decided to put less TIM on the HSF so that means reseat the heat sink fan. I took the HSF out and other components but the CPU.. when I put back everything in place and turn on nothing.. no beep no screen nothing.. all components are on since I can see the light on mobo green and all fans on.. the GPU fan is at full speed and my memory leds ..are only on but the blue ones (using tracers) in any case the computer do not POST at all no matter what I do.. I have tried taking off GPU.. Memory.. 1 GB slot .. changing memory slot .. clear CMOS.. battery removed all that and nothing.. I even tried with CPU and HSF only and nothing. SO i wonder if you guys have any ideas of what could have been. I put it out and re builded once again and nothing.. I used anti static wrist strap .. Any help would be appreciated.

here are my pc specs :

Q6600 G0
Evga 8800GT
P5N32-E SLI plus
PCP&C 750 Silencer
Crucial Ballistix Tracers PC2-8500
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10
1 DVD RW SONY Optiarc 7170A
Cooler Master HyperTX2 HSF

Thanks all

Any help highly appreciated

Any help highly appreciated

Borrow another PSU if you can... see if that's the problem. Also, are you at OC? Try loading defaults and see if you can start up then.
