Did you read the manual and insert the memory in the correct slots?
Did you plug in the power cable for the vga card?

You must have a small thing on your board that displays codes for errors like my Rampage?

Remove your vid card, and see if it pass the 7F code.
Do you use USB keyboard?

I have same board as you, and It can POST without vga card.
