Hi so i'm using tri sli 760's and I was getting some graphical glitches in my games so i decided to take two cards out and trouble shoot each one to test which card might be faulty. well I switched off the psu and i took out two cards then turned the psu switch back on and when I did that the power button light (on the motherboard) would flicker on about every 2 seconds, along with another single white light right next to the 24-pin power connector, and everytime It would flicker i would hear a very faint 'thump' sound. I immediately turned the psu off and on but it kept flashing and thumping. then I tried clearing the CMOS, removing the motherboard battery, and even with no battery and the PSU turned off the power button was still flashing. It didn't stop until I removed the 24-pin power connector. and everytime I reinsert the 24pin the flashing and thumping resumes.

You Powered Off the PC Then Unplugged the PSU Cable then you removed the PCIe Power Cables from two GPU's then you removed two GPU's from the MB and only had one GPU card Plugged into Slot 1 then plugged back in the PSU Power Cable. correct?

Actually, I just hooked my PSU to my dads computer and it didn't turn on. So I'm guess this PSU went bad (EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000w) but just to make sure my motherboard is okay. Can I use my Dad's Antec Basiq BP350 350W Power Supply Just to trouble shoot if the motherboard will turn on with a different PSU? 

Did you Jump Pin 4 & 6 and test the PSU outside of a computer? *To Test the PSU

not sure how to do that...

^^^ Above says it all .... ;) No need to play with jumpers on your PSU, besides that method only proves "life" in your PSU, once it has a load on it it could very well die immediately after powering up.
No big deal to not unplug the PSU, switch it off, then push n hold your power switch on your Tower for a few seconds to drain all power from the Board and Caps....with the PSU switched off there 's no chance for "Power Trickle"....although its a good idea to ensure you dont inadvertently hit the switch while working on the system ;)
 
Your Dads PSU will be fine to test the board, just unplug all GPU's, it should power up and go through Boot sequence until it checks for GPU's...then a Beep Code, you wont Boot to Windows but you'll know whether your Board can still Post . ;)

Your dad's PSU is fine to boot with one 760.  You aren't going to load the GPU, nor the CPU.
 
I've used my trusty 285W PSU to trouble-shoot/boot many systems, including my 3-way EVGA GTX 580 HydroCopper2s in an X58 @ 4.5 Ghz.  I just made sure to remove the overclocks first (clear CMOS) before powering on.  

As a matter of fact I think that Anteq Basiq only has one 4pin connector, and I need an 8pin :(

The user has not provide enough information on EACH system to go one way or another.
Under power his motherboard may or can cause more harm then good, I would not connect a 350 PSU to a X79 Motherboard.

It comes with a 24Pin Power connector and two 4 Pin Connectors that look like you can connect them to make one 8 Pin Connector.
It has no PCIe 6 Pin or 6+2 Pin or an 8 Pin PCIe power cables, it has 3 each 4 Pin Molex connectors as well.

Uh your reading far too much into it there my friend....I've used a crappy old 400W PSU to test the ability of a Board to Post, including X58 / X79 High end Boards...no big deal as he knows to clear his cmos and not connect any GPU's ;)

You don't need an 8-pin.  The 4-pin will plug into the 8-pin just fine (each hole is specifically sized).  As long as you remove your overclocks.  
 
Yes, clear the CMOS by removing battery is the most sure-fire way.  Wait 1 minute.
 
These 4, 8, 8+4 and 8+8 pin connectors are just 12V power to the CPU.  It's all based off of the single 4-pin connector, and "doubles up" as you go 8-pin and so on.  They should all be wired in parallel to the same bus.
 
Should be fine.

That worked! Thank you thank you thank you! So glad my brand new $400 motherboard isnt fried YIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :D :D
