I've recently bought a XFX nForce 680i LT SLI motherboard and a XFX 8800GT vid. card. When i startup my system i get no signal on my monitor and so it goes into sleep mode. When i clear the CMOS i can startup the system again. When i shut down or reboot the system i get no signal and so i have to clear the cmos again...i have to do this everytime i try to boot/reboot my system.
How can i fix this problem???

did you set the right voltage for your ram in the bios? Also, did you make sure that you have the primary/initial display set as pcie? Also, make sure that you have the latest bios for the board and maybe even switch to a new psu.
BTW, please post a detail system specs, so other can assist you better.

I haven't changed the default voltages of the RAM in my bios. Everything in my BIOS is set to default settings

OCZ RAM is notorious for not running at 1.8v, which is the default setting. It may apply higher voltage to the MEM when CMOS is reset to allow you to boot the first time, you'd have to ask one of the XFX tech support guys about that one. Reset your CMOS, manually set your memory voltage to 2.0v or whatever voltage OCZ recommends for your particular model to start and see if that helps.
