Start with the minimal configuration.

That's 0 zero burners, 0 hard drives and 1 stick of RAM (if that's what you mean with "memory card"). If that works (up to "can't find OS" or a comparable message) add the others one by one, starting with 1 hard disk and 1 CD/DVD-drive to install the OS.

And if that doesn't work ...then you'll have to

pull the MB and do the BENCH TEST outside the case. You should always do that first to make sure the components ...MB, CPU, RAM are working BEFORE mounting in the case.

Need a lot more info, but first assuming all components are correctly installed and connected, my curiosity would be POWER SUPPLY capability.

Power Supply

Hi amonroe770

If your internal power supply isn't enough (due to 3 DVD burners and 3 hard drives) your system did not working correctly... check the power of your internal power supply...

Desconect one or two devices (1 dvd burner and 1 hard drive) and try again..

Write me if your solve your problem...

Regards...and sorry about my English
