okay this is gonna be rather long winded but i have run out off ideas

i had a htpc which had

Q6600 G0
Asus X48 rampage
4Gb ddr2 1066 corsair dominators
His HD4870x2
Thermaltake toughpower 850W modular
4xHDDs
1XODD
5 Fans

Which was working fine till one day it would not post nothing the lcd poster just kept sayin CMOSERR cmos error tried all the things i could find on the web to get it to work, with no avial

So i desided to test the cpu and ram in my dads machine and low and behold they worked but i didnt try the mobo as i thought this was the problem so i sold the cpu and ram and bought the following

I7 920 D0
Asus P6T SE v2/6
6gb OCZ gold ram 1600mhz

i installed them in to my rig and still no post ??

i've also got another pc for gaming which has got

I7 920 D0
Evga X58 SLI LE
6gb OCZ reaper 1866mhz
2X sparkle GTX275's in SLI
Thermaltake Toughpower 850w modular (same as htpc)
2xHDDS
1xODD
Water cooling

so at 1st i though it was my hd4870X2 so i swapped that for a 275 still no post no beep nothing

2nd the only part which was left was my psu which i havnt changed so i took the one out off my gaming rig and put it into my htpc as i was a atraight swap still no post ??

this is now a completely diffrent system for what i've started with and still the same problem i am losing the will to live can anyone please help??

the only thing i can think off is the Toughpower is not compatable with Asus boards but i was running a 650w toughpower on the rampage for about 6 months then swaped it for 850w version and it ran okay for about 3 weeks and stopped working a couple off days after i put the Q6600 in so what is up with this hardware i really dont want to spend any more on this as iam skint and it should work but i cant get it going for the life of me

any help any ideas is very welcome cheers and thanks in advance Mr. May:(
 
Umm.. I think i read somewhere that the ocz golds need more voltage than what gets set in the bios. I could be completely wrong but it's an idea atleast.
