Default Re: Booting problem.

I assume it eventually starts up ok. Any beeps? Most mobos have a couple of lights on them. Are they lit? Have you tested the psu? Perhaps it's on its way out. Check all connections (you could have accidently brushed against something making it loose) are connected firmly. If that's not it I would disconnect one video card and see if everything is ok and if not take out all the ram except for one stick. Work your way back until you have only the mobo, one stick on ram, one video card and the psu. Good luck and please come back and tell us how you make out with the problem.

Yay its working fine now
I un-plugged all the connectors and plug all of them back again, turned out that it was due to something not plugged in properly i guess.
