So I just finished my new build with my friend, and when we turn the pc on the leds on the asus mobo cycle through and the "boot device led" stays on and is solid.  Because of this, we are not able to get a video out from the pc and can't reach the bios.  After reading around the internet we found that we should remove all memory sticks except for one (in the fourth slot), reset the CMOS, and try again.  The good news is that this worked, the leds cycled (including the "boot device led" one) and brought me to the bios.  The problem is I was unable to find the usb device that I have windows on so I removed it and the bios closed.  Since that point I am unable to get to the bios despite the "boot device led" being off.

 

Please someone help me!  I am fairly certain it is not a hardware issue as I was able to get into the bios, it is probably incompetence on my part.

Update: I am able to boot and run install windows with the gpus and all but one memory module removed.  Hopefully there will be no problem putting them back in once windows is installed.
