New Rig wont boot - argh.

[Devlish]

Hey folks, got a GA-P35C-DS3R, an E6850 and some Ballistix ram, matched it with my enermax 500w.

I start up, motherboard screen comes up then it lists all the PCI devices... and stops dead. The power to the keyboard and mouse cuts off and it just sits there. Ive tried clearing the CMOS although I havent had time to change anything... any ideas?

Help appreciated.

Could be shorting.

You have the spacers between the motherboard and the case right? (where you screw the motherboard in)
