Did you connect the status LEDs from your MBs to your case?  Those LEDs help with troubleshooting.

Sometimes the PSU has a switch to go between 120V or 240V.  Check that.

Does your MB have built in vga or DIV-D output?  If it does, try removing the video cards first and plug into MB's own monitor ports.

Remove one of the video cards and CrossFire link. 

Is your monitor on?  Set to the right input?  Don't laugh.  I've seen it happen before.

Remove one of the video cards and CrossFire link.  Treid with only 1 from the start

Do you have power to the cards themselves (normally a 6 or 8 pin connector but may be molex).

I've got the same board, but different GPUs, it was a bit tricky to get up until I made sure I'd routed power properly.

Check if CPU is placed in mobo as it should be. I nearly sent my mobo back to shop because it was a bit(really a bit) loose. All the fans were on and it seemed like its running, but there was nothing on monitor.

At least connect the computer case speaker and see if it beeps.  Many motherboards beep when the MB passes initial BIOS check.

Sometimes the PSU has a switch to go between 120V or 240V.  Check that. How?

Then don't worry about it.  You have the type that auto switches between 120 and 240V.

Does your MB have built in vga or DIV-D output?  If it does, try removing the video cards first and plug into MB's own monitor ports. Dont have any built in

One other thing to try, reinstall your CPU and RAM sticks.  For the CPU, check and see if the ZIF socket arm is down and *locked*.
