Keyboard Lights Error Code?

[Netvyper]

Ok;
So i've just recieved 1x Highpoint Rocketraid 2320 - PCI-E Raid Card; and 3x 500gb Hard Disks for a nice Raid 5 setup...

Built the machine; installed card - connected the disks; and booted...
Once i made it into bios & did some configging; after rebooting... nothing.
no post, no beeps...

Most bizzare thing... all of the keyboard lights blink... seems to be no pattern to it...
I've heard thats used under *nix to indicate kernel level errors; could the raid card be attempting to do something similar - googling didnt return anything of interest :s

Full spec:
3200 AMD 64-bit
4x 256mb DDR (2 Corsair - 2x Hynix[tried swapping this all out/around - no change])
ASROCK 939 Dual - Sata2 thingeh;
PCI - GForce4 MX
3x 500gb 7200.10s - 1x IDE WD 20gb, 1x IDE LG DVD-RW; [Swapped/Unplugged all these too]...
500w FSP Blue Storm PSU

Dropping the raid card makes it work - I have a couple of theories: - can boot into windows etc.

1) just incompatability between board & raid card - the AGP & PCI-E Thing... who knows...

2) Doesnt like being in an 8x PCI-E slot... not that it *should* make any odds, but with the above... hell who knows...

3) DOA Card?

Just confirmed that the raid card works;
Put it in this rig, and its fine - although admitedly in a 'proper' 4x slot.

So im leaning towards some sort of compatability thing...
Oddly; a cmos reset on the fileserver seems to bring up the bios... but even only changing the data & saving causes it to loop into error :s.

Next things to try are Bios updates I guess

A Flash of system & Raid card BIOS seems to have done the trick.

Havent tried the End/Reallocation stuff yet.

Also found the really tiny jumpers seagate ship to limit the disks at Sata150, and removed 'em.

Web interface for the raid card is up and working; and appears ok...
About to try setting up the array.
