Make sure you are using the EATX12V and NOT the PCI-E 6/8-pin for the cpu socket.
It should be an 8-pin connector NOT 6-pin. PCI-E and EATX can be easilly fitted into the wrong slots, especially confusing with plug-type psu's
The 6-pin is for the PCI-Ex, snap together the 2 cpu terminals to make an 8-pin connector
(see image below)
Other things to try:
1) I believe your GPU doesnt need power for the x16 PCI-E. Try removing the power.
1) Try both ram modules one at a time
2) Also make sure you plug in the power for the gpu
3) Both RAM Modules should be in the Yellow slots.
4) Try installing a PCI based video card, and see if it posts. I know its 2 new boards but you may need need to reset the CMOS. Consult your motherboard manual to do this
By the way, are you sure your board is not shorting out on the case? (You used the riser pins)?
if all this fails it might be your psu isn't delivering enough power to the cpu (EPS12V), can you try a different one?
