this may not apply to your particular boards...but many of the new boards have an ATX power connector to supply power to the CPU... this is a 4 pin connector that is usually near the CPU socket... if this is not connected the system will not boot... if the power supply is not equiped with this connector an adapter is available for older power supplies...

well, in the end it was faulty memory, both of them... oh well at least it works now. just for future reference.. on award bios, long beeps = faulty memory. hope this helps everyone for the future.
