I don't have a link for the hard drive, but I bought it from Micro Center. I don't know what information is relevant so I'll list what it says on the sticker on it.

Bad video card or pci express slot.
Bad memory or bad memory slot.
Did you use the brass standoffs between motherboard and case?
Did you plug in 2 pci express power connectors to the video card? Both are required for card to work properly.

Did you plug in the motherboard speaker and also did you connect the EPS 8pin cable from the PSU to the top of the motherboard.if you have connected the motherboard speaker,is there a short single beep when you turn it on

No idea if this will work for you but...

This has been happening to my computer lately. If I leave it off for a longer period of time, when I try to start it up the monitor won't receive a signal (the BIOS screen won't load but the computer will turn on). I have to let the computer run for about 5-10 minutes and when I restart it everything works again. I know it isn't much of a solution at all, but at least if it works you can narrow down your problem further.

Nothings wrong with anything, don't send anything back just yet, from looking at the newegg site it shows that this motherboard is set up for Crossfire quad support, not that you need that, but my point is that it is set up to boot with an ATI/AMD card, you have an Nvidia card so it wont show picture, just find an old ati/amd card, do first boot, install windows, then go download the drivers online and then problem is solved, just make sure while installing that one of each kind of card is in the slots :), I had the same issue except reverse, my P8P67 WS Rev Mobo is standard set as Nvidia, worked like a charm for first boot once i put my old 9600gt in it. :D

i dont think that its setup like that. Ive booted many first boots with ATI cards in SLI boards and Nvidia cards in CF boards. Bever had an issue with it before. As long as the BIOS recognizes the card and the slot works fine, the card will boot fine.

I can garuntee this is the issue, It is a P8P67 motherboard, one that i actually have and have used and had the same issue with, whilst my board said "ready for tri SLI Nvidia Acuda" His says triple crossfire, Are you getting the code FF? and is it double booting? no screen post, no showing on screen but everything sounds like its running fine?
