Mainboard broken?

Hello,
I bought and used Supermicro x8dti-f mainboard from ebay, with 2 Xeon X5670. When I install an CPU in the CPU slot 1 and connected the fan and the PSU. If I start the Workstation the fans turn for a half second on full speed but then all stops spinning.
I get no beep code or something like that. I tried the other CPU, with/witout RAM, ... but always the same result.

Have you any idea why this happens? I would guess on an short but didnt find anthing. I tried to start the PC without a case. But no other results.
Thanks for your help.

have you tried using only 1 CPU for testing ? Put a Cpu in Slot 1 and the mem, leave the other cpu slot and memory empty

Yeah, I have tested only one CPU in SLOT one and I tried both CPUs.

My SuperMicro board seems to take an exceptionally long time to post. So does my 1366 Gigabyte board now that I come to think of it. A few minutes actually. Seems like forever though. But double check which slots you're using your memory sticks in.
