Just in case anyone has the same problem, the culprit turned out to be a
cheap 350watt Aquarius PSU. I replaced it with a 300watt sparkle PSU and the
system posted and is working fine.

Update, I managed to get the board to POST with all cards on the
board, but only with the CPU fan pulled out. As soon as I connect the
cpu fan then board **** down after 3 seconds of power.

I bought a new pre-built PC with contained a GA7VA (rev1). When I press
the
power switch the board automatically turns off after 3 seconds.
Pressing
the power button again does nothing, however the memory led on the
corner
of
the board stays on.
Is this a known problem with the board, or is it RMA time.
