Have you tried a Cmos reset?

This actually happened to me before. Not sure if it will work the same for you but when I emailed EVGA that the refurbished board that I received from them through RMA wasn't working (everything powered up but no display) while the LED code said "FF" (which indicated that the computer is booting properly with no problems) they told me that the BIOS chip on the board may have come loose during shipping and that I should give it a little push or tap. Did it and it actually worked...so give it a try...I'm assuming that it should look similar to this...

If that doesn't help...if you can...try a different GPU, try the same GPU on another computer to see if it works, using only one stick of memory at a time on different slots, trying a different set of memory, checking memory on a different computer, pretty much anything to rule out what may indicate the problem. Troubleshooting is a long process...if worse comes to worse you can RMA the board and get a replacement. Good luck.

I really dont think this 5850 is DOA?!? The only other system I could test it on is the one at home, which is hundreds of miles away. arghhh.

Try the RAM in each different dimm slot and try each stick separately.
Here is a link to your manual I was skimming through it. One long beep is RAM. One long beep followed by three short beeps in a GPU issue. There are some different jumpers for your PCIe slots that I am not sure about... you also have two separate cmos jumpers to clear.. here is a pic. I would try clearing both cmos jumpers if you haven't already done that. I would clear them for 60 seconds just to be safe.

i do believe that the beep code means display adapter problem. is there onboard video? hook it up with that first. then see if you can change the bios to primary display pci-e slot. other than that im still thinking on options that might help you. also usually if its a ram problem you will get one log beep if i remember correctly.

Same thing happened to me.. it was my RAM. I fixed it by moving both of my ram down a slot. Booted up and now runs perfectly fine
