    New system won't boot :(

    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.
