Yeh the picture there is right for SLI....bugger thought this one was gonna be an wasy one!!!
Right so im presuming you did the normal checks (are all your cables in
)
Did you reverse the pci card thingy when you tried to boot with the single card....
And the question i always have to ask.....did you use risers (the little brass thingys) when screwing the motherboard to the case?0 -

Cables: From the power supply I have two to the MoBo: the atx 12v power connector an the atx 20 pin power connector. then i have 1 pcie powercable into each GPU (2 seperate ones).
I'll try that reversal now with the one card but pretty sure I've tried every combination.
Brass risers: Yes. I presume if I didnt I'd have a fried mother board and nothing in it happening at all?
Everything else so far checks. fans are spinning. Ram only put one stick of ram in, its in the A channel, slot one. I have only one hard drive in at the moment. CPU is spinning fine.
I still can't hear a post. I have heard the continues beep when I forget to plug into the power to the graphics card.
I should still be able to see the bios even if the hard drive were knackered, right?0 -
First thing to do is to stay calm, clear your head and dont panic
Take out both graphics card and use on onboard graphics, to see if its something to do with the video cards..
Check the ram i think thats your problem..
Try it with one stick of ram, then try one stick of ram in another slot and so on..0 -

I am thinking now the problem is with the main board. I unplugged all ram, the graphics card and hard drive so just had the CPU in there. I didn’t get any beeps for no RAM which I think is odd.
I connected everything except the RAM and still no beeps.
I connected everything (including RAM) but did not connect power to the Graphics card and I gone one long continues beep.
I am presuming now that the problem is the main board so think I'll have to return it!

hmmm try get your hands on a low end core2duo maybe an e6300 or something, you might just need to flash to the latest bios also borrow a stick of ram from a friend and try that too...when you were buying did you make sure that ram was compatable?theres often issues with certain brands on certain boards.....would be much easier to try that and know its the motherboard rather than waiting a on a chance that they could send ya back the same board!!!
yeah, I'm gonna have to have another look at it Sunday night as I am just getting ready to leave now for the weekend. Plus I wont ahve a chance to look at it then again till Thursday as I am out of the country
Will keep ya posted!0
