here's an interesting quote from googling asus cpu init
Turn off ps and press start button to drain all juice.
Make sure you install at least 1 video card in the slot close to cpu.Make sure mobo is fully screwed down to case.If your ps has the 8 4+4 power then plug them into mobo,then plug your ATX power 24 pins into mobo,then plug your video card up to the ps.Install whatever drive you are going to use sata,ata,etc.Enable your Cmos switch just above the IDE plug in and press it to clear cmos.Plug ps up and start computer dont worry about the lcd on the back.If pc starts then press Del and setup your Bios.If you get this far then post back.
They haven't done something stupid like leave your GPU unpowered?
