Ok, got a problem with it...

When I turn the system on, the motherboard speaker emits a very loud beep. The thing is, it keeps going unlike the usual set of error messages listed on the Abit FAQ. The fan on the HSF starts, along with the northbridge and GPU fan. I can hear the HDD starting, and the LEDs on the RAM light up however they instantly go to red, which is full usage IIRC...the LED on the mobo is green when it has power but as soon as I switch it on, it goes red and boom...loud beeping.

I'm about to go and check the CPU and RAM, just in case it's one of those, but I posted this because I would hope I'm not dumb enough to get the CPU or RAM seated wrongly.

Ok, ignore the idiot.

Moving from a GeForce 3 to a GeForce 6800 Ultra is obviously a big step since I forgot to even connect the bloody molexes,

Hehe, I was messing with the CPU HSF to check it was on properly and the CPU wasn't instantly overheating...and I saw these 2 disconnected molex plugs...lol. :p
