I am building the same system as in profile except im going with DarkKnight instead of V8 for Cooling.

-When i Boot With no memore i get nothing not video no post.

When i boot With memory and Graphics card (5770) i get nothing.

So i slotted my older GPU the XFX Radeon 4850 in and i Get a red L.E.D on the back of the card thats lights up.  It blinks simultaneously with the HHD staus Light and the Debug LED with "FF".

So my question is what does this "FF" code really mean other than initialize CPU. 

All Power phase LEDs are Lit up.  But i do not understand the LED on GPU/"FF"/HHD Light blinking all at same time.

Is it already OC or...?

Without memory your processor has nothing to do, so things don't work.

Reseat the processor. Do the reseating with motherboard out of the case. Clear CMOS during the work.

Check so all power connections are in place.

No this is there very first boot-up for this MOB.  Havnt even installed BIOS yet.  All Power cables are good.  I am pretty goodat cable management.  Reseating the processor really didnt do anything.  It looked like a pin on the CPU was a little bent up.  COuld that be it?

Fredrik is right: the cpu cannot start without memory. But when you install the cpu without memory and you start the board, the FF should come on ... if it does not, there´s something pretty wrong.

Try the board outside of the computer case on an non-conductive surface with the cpu and one stick of memory only.

(The red led on your graphics card means it doesn´t get the necessarry power to start. 12V connected to the card?)

Well Its a 6Pin PCI-E going to the card.  And when i start it with no RAM i still Get the "FF".
And when i put 1 stick witht he cpu the 'FF'  just blinks on and off with the HHD LED.
