SLI-DR EXPERT help needed urgently

[james_earl]

i recieved this motherboard today and placed all my parts into it and read the manuals and booted up. initially i got into windows after installing it and then after installing the drivers it would not boot again. since then it was not showing the entire sentance of "Saving DMI configuration ....ok" and now it shows nothing there at all and will not allow me to boot into dos for a flash. boot from cd or hard drive and i am baffled as to what to do. i have tried it with bare minimum connected and with ram in every possible slot and memtested the ram before it stopped me from going past the bios boot up stage. please help.

components are

dfi mobo
3700 sd
2 6800gt bfg
2 maxtor 160gb hard drives
2 gig plat ocz

all of which work in an sli-dr which was my previous system.

Try resetting CMOS and checking all connections. Try the obvious things first mate.
