Intel has some suggestions for you:
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sai2/sai2_tsg.pdf

Synopsis:
* Bad/unseated processor
* Bad/unseated/unsupported memory
* Misplaced standoff
* Add-in card
* Onboard video disabled
* and a few others...

Of course, there's always:
* DOA
* You broke it, er, "DOA" =)
