I'll see if I can get the mobo replaced. Thanks for all your answers. I'll report back if the problem persists.

Did some more tests, took out all the drivers, RAM and gfx cards. No beep. Tried to boot with only 1 ram instead of 4, no beep. I know the system used to make single beep after post so it should have given the no memory beeping. Pretty sure it's the mobo, but before I take any action replacing...

I took it out for about a minute if that makes a differencd, aside from that no results.

Nope, the bios version it shipped with was A07, which I updated to A09 at the time and the current version is A11. I know the new cards only work with A11 (didn't know before I tried installing them) but the old cards should be fully supported.

Yeah I still got a warranty, kinda weird how the mobo gets fried by upgrading a gfx card though.

I tried flashing the cmos which had no results. Ram is seated as tight as can fit. Tried switching gfx cards, tried switching dvi cables, tried switching monitors. Still nothing, the monitor goes into sleepmode and they keyboard & mouse don't activate either.

That would be 875w, but I don't think it's a power issue since returning everything to my old (working) setup results in the same problem. Then again, I have very basic knowledge.

Today I tried replacing my two gtx 680's with 970's. My rig meets the requirements, or so I thought. I installed everything properly yet no monitor signal. The monitor goes straight back to sleepmode. Then I tried putting the old gfx cards back. My setup is now identical to how it was before...
