Couple of things to check: make sure the 24 pin ATX and the 8 pin connectors are firmly plugged into the mobo. Same goes for the extra power connectors for the video card. Could also try resetting the BIOS to default or clear the CMOS(instructions should be in the mobo manual).

You didn't list the actual make and model of the 680i board. As you may have heard there has been some problems in the past with the 680i chipset. Some people have had good luck with 680i boards and others couldn't get one to work no matter what.

For tech support, you need to talk to the maker of the motherboard. Nvidia only makes the chipsets for the mobo.

Nvidia makes the chipset for the motherboard. Some other company makes the motherboard itself. Examples would be eVGA, Asus, MSI, Abit, Intel, etc. Do you have a link to the actual board you purchased?
