Make sure there is not an errant screw caught under the board somewhere. Try one stick of RAM, same stick in both slots or all four or how ever many you have. You do have standoff's in the case right? Make sure there isn't one where there shouldn't be one. You can test the board out of the case, I use the wood table in the dining room or the top of the desk. Just make sure to properly ground yourself against the metal parts of the case or get one of those wrist straps.
