Have a P5N-T Deluxe SLI motherboard. All I have hooked up right now are (2 )2 GB PC2-6400 (slow) RAM Sticks, and Dual GeForce GTX 280 Cards, Keyboard, Mouse. Board is powered by 850W EVGA PSU that is brand new. When powering on the board, Fan runs on the CPU cooler (running a Q9550 CPU) and it lights up, but no video and the fans on the GeForce Cards dont run, although a light comes on for both of them at the front.

The GeForce Cards are plugged in with 1 8-Pin and 1 6-Pin Power adapter each.

Even just having 1 card in the system provides the same results....

Any ideas? Not getting anything except power on the board, no video, nothing.....

EDIT - Took the Proc out and took a closer look....appears two or three of the processor socket pins are bent.....looks like this board is going back....

All I want to do is have a "newer" retro rig with SLI GeForce 280 Cards using my Q9550 Processor. Can anyone recommend a good board for this?

Only Dual x16, or is Dual x8 enough ?

You could try "unbend" thos pins you know... however that way you may not be able to return this board.
