Turn on SLI on your motherboard

Format your hard drive

Make sure that you install windows with the proper hard drive drivers (you need to install them when you install windows)

Corsair ram is shit

try doing it regular HTT speed not overclocked

Make sure your ram is supported by that type of ram and also make sure that CPU is supported as well..
any kind of error message would help Greatly

Well in case you did put it together yourself, and in case it doesnt turn on when you press the button make sure you didnt short it. (put motherboard directly on the case metal) Talking from experience here lol.

You may have to start the board with another Socket 775 CPU, then update to the latest BIOS firmware, then put your shiny new Q6700 in after the update.

Some motherboards are extremely picky as to the specific model of ram you put in them. I think 70+% of mobo/ram RMAs are due to this.

If you can at least get into the BIOS, also check that the RAM is set to the right voltage. It's often set wrong with Auto on.
