I have just tried RAM by a different manufacture and still nothing. I am really considering throwing the lot out of the window.
Incompatible when together?

Have you tried running it out of the case?
It does sound like what happened to my mates pc when he built it and it was shorting on something.
Also does the motherboard need a bios update to work with the cpu? Is it one of those boards that undervolts the ram?

I don't know if it will need a bios update to work with the CPU - there's nothing on Asus' website -not that makes a bit of difference as I can't boot the machine anyway

IT WORKS IT WORKS *BURSTS INTO JOYOUS SWEET TEARS*
OH MY GOD!!
It was the power supply! It must be dead on arrival or something. I got my RMA replacement back from Enermax and plugged in the power cord and the machine boots up fine. Oh sweet noisy machine how good it was to hear you again. The only difference is that this older versioned Enermax has a PSU fan plug - the newer Zalman doesn't. Think that's why it wasn't booting up? Apparently when the computer got it and tested all the components however they said that every component worked. What kind of incompatibility madness is this?
