Motherboard not posting?

I've just been struggling with my new rig for about 6 hours straight and can't get this to work. First of all, here's the specs:

AMD Phenom II X6

ATI Radeon 5770

8 GB's dual channel DDR3 RAM ( 4 sticks total)

850 W Power supply

MSI 890FXA-GD70 motherboard

1 TB Caviar Black WD HDD

2 DVD drives (about 22-24 x)

Full ATX AZZA Solano 1000 Case

OK, here's the situation...

I plug it in, plug video in, press the power button, all the fans, the HDD the dvd drives, everything turns on, I don't get Post or any kind of BIOS up on the screen and putting in OS discs or the Motherboard disc doesn't help. On the motherboard LED screen it shows the debug error D1 which as far as I can tell isn't listed anywhere. I'd tell you what the case speaker does but I can't seem to find where to hook that up. It's not a short causing the error because I took out the motherboard and checked for any loose screws or extra standoffs that could be causing it. I've tried resetting the CMOS multiple times. So

1. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

2. Anyone know where to plug in the case speaker?

3. Any other miscellanious help with other stuff I mentioned?

Thanks!

    Don't rule out that you could have a bad mobo or memory. Happens all the time.
