I don't know those boards but have found many customers throw things together without a 2x2 +12V supply to the board. Or the PS can't supply adequate 12V for modern systems. Some boards get away with it but not many of them are Intel. The symptoms vary and can shift but reports sound similar to yours.
You say the first one boots fine? What boots if not the installer?
On the second one, you've pulled everything but video/keyboard/mouse and insulated it completely? Tried another PS?
