I'm finally at a loss with everything I've tried with my new budget system build, first problem I've had in my lifetime total of about 80 or so builds. System powers up fine, fans spin up, phase LEDs on my Gigabyte board stay at 4 for about 15 seconds and then disappear, no POST. I've disconnected everything except for the video card (swapped it with a discrete PCI card to rule the video card out), swapped 3 individual sticks of memory, and 4-pin ATX is plugged in. I cannot for the life of me determine why the PC won't POST, and the first version of the BIOS is supposed to support my processor out of the box. Specs below, ideas???

CPU: Q8400
Memory: GEIL DDR2-800 (plus several other trial sticks)
