Just a thought, is there any reason the PSU in the below link won't work with a 6400 and 8800GT?
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power RP-600-PCAR ATX from factor 12V V2.01 600W Power Supply 115/ 230 V Safety Nemko, TUV, cUL, CE, BSMI, FCC, CCC - Retail
If there was a problem with the PSU could it cause everything to start up like fans and lights but there is no display at all? I have another thread open with different questions but I figured I would throw this out there and see. I am going to try and acquire another PSU and test it.
Here is the comment on that page that made me wonder...

It looks like it has two 12v rails running 18A
The 6400 says "Voltage 1.35-1.4V" and "Thermal Power 125W"
I'm not sure if two 18A rails will work.
I am running.....
