Water cooling the Asus Maximus SE X38

Have hooked everything up now, but cannot get passed "CPU INIT".
The CPU is a QX9650 and I put one stick of Corsair DDR2-6400 in the ramslot.
Is there a common cause of stopping at CPU INIT ?

1) Does the PC start, meaning do you get power to the mb.
2) i was getting the following... the reset button on the mb is green, the power botton is lighting red.
no matter how much i ws presssing the "power" button on on chassi it wouldnt boot. i was pressing the power button on the mb for up to 2 mins before i could get it to start. It turned out to be a sort circuit on the mb.
iam writing this just in case same is happening to you

Yeah LEDs are on across the board. Reset has a green light, while the power button has a red light.
Both the RAM and CPU leds are up to red.

So you get power to the mb but it will not boot. you get lights across the mb when you press the power button, meaning the funs are working

you might try this already and changed the ram from one slot to the other.
Red means that the voltage is high, unless you find a way to reset your bios, as it might be stuck in some strainge voltage.
