    Rampage III Extreme Problem

    Hey I had my system up and running fine for about 9 months, then a few days ago I bought a new case and put it all into that, a Lian-Li X2000F and installed water cooling for the CPU. Now I can't get it to boot into Bios at all. When I turn it on I get the initial start up beep, then about 5sec later get a second identical beep, I can't find this code in the manual so I'm not sure what it means.

    I've taken out and reinstalled the RAM several times, also checked the PCIe connections, and used the switches to further test them. Then tried booting with only 3 of the 6 sticks of RAM in, to no avail. I also checked all the SATA connections and they all seem to be sitting nicely. Also tried clearing the CMOS with the handy button on the mobo, but that didn't help either.

    Any help with this would be very appreciated.

    System Specs:
    Mobo: Asus Rampage III Extreme
    CPU: Intel i7 950
    GPU: 2 x Evga 580 GTX
    RAM: 2 x DDR3 Corsair Dominator GT 2000 6GB Tripple Channel (CMT6GX3M3A2000C8)
    SC: Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium HD
    PSU: Silverstone ST1500 1500w Modular PSU

    Don't worry I fixed it, 1 of the 8pin CPU connectors was faulty, had enough to seem to boot, but not quite enough to get the job done.
