Hello [H]!

I've built a new Silverstone FT03 with the following components today:
OS: Windows 7
MB: Asus Maximus Gene V 1155
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770k
RAM: Corsair Dominator 8GB
GPU: Asus GTX 660 OC x2 SLI
CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i
PSU: Corsair AX760
HDD: 2TB Seagate and 256GB Samsung 840 SSD

Symptom
  1. Two of the chassis fan (1x 80mm, 1x 120mm) is not working even when connected firmly to motherboard.
  2. Computer keeps shutting down on its self without displaying anything on monitor. (about 3 second after each boot)

I did make sure the fan cables were inserted correctly and also tried disconnecting one GTX 660 to see if it was power difficulty but it was still the same. Computer is not emitting any strange noise and all the LEDs including GPUs seem to be looking fine.

What should I look after? I'm thinking about maybe reseating the RAM and reconnecting the 24pin-8pin power cable?
 
pop the bios battery for a good 5 minutes and reseat all the connections. if there is a bios debug on your board check that it isn't showing a error.

If that doesn't help, remove everything from the case and try just booting the system to the UEFI/bios as it could be a short or something else that got overlooked.

I'll assume that you used the motherboard standoffs but sometimes a person will miss a screw or pinch a connection upon installing the motherboard into the chassis so trying it outside of the case is a normal troubleshooting method.

I typically take advantage of most new boards having a power button on the board to open bench test my builds before I put everything into a case that way I don't have to undo all the cable management if something is DOA and it is a lot easier to reseat ram or remount a HSF that way too.
