Put together a new system, specs.

new stuff:
Asus P5B-E
Intel E6600 2.4g
Patriot 2g 800mhz
eVga 8800GTS 320m
Antec 450w psu (came with case)

old stuff:
WD Raptor 74g
Liteon DVD burner
NEC Floppy
19" analog monitor

The system won't come up, it doesn't even beep except the one time it beeped and actually got to the bios screen but would not respond to any keys, did a reboot and back to the old dead state. This happened after I reseated the processor and video card once in a multitude of times that I tried it. I also cleared CMOS a bunch of times.
It does respond to the power on button and will turn off also (4 sec. hold)
When it powers up the DVD light hits, the HDD runs for a bit and the keyboard lights do a quick flash.
I don't get the text from the video card saying what model it is.
If I remove the ram it will beep one long, two short(I think)
If I disconnect everything like HD, DVD and remove the video card it still won't beep(ram back in).

When starting up is the processor executing the bios code or ir there another supervisory chip that sequences everything?
I'm thinking I need to RMA the mobo, could it be the processor socket is very marginal and that's why it ran once? My other choices would then be the processor and finally the ram.

Thanks for any insight, what a disappointing night :(.
