Try lowering the speed on your processor.It may be there the cause of the problem
Did you lock the PCI frequency?Normaly GPU'S will have problems booting if the PCI frequency goes to high.

You check to see whether your cards are compatible with your board, I heard that ATI Video Cards and ASUS Motherboards seem ro have alot of compatibility issues, and that s one of the bigger reasons im a little leary of ATI and tend to stay away from them.

Unlike my problems with Abit, Chaintech, etc.
