Attaching lens shuts 7D down

Aloha!

 

I have a Canon 7D. It won't turn on with a lens attached.

 

The body alone turns on fine, but when attaching the lens, it shuts down.

 

It isn't the lens because I tested it on a 5D with no problem.

 

Ideas? I cleaned the contacts with alcohol, but it didn't change anything.

 

I'm going to update the firmware, but I'm really at loss at what to do next.

 

Help!

They are Canon lenses and I've tried them on this camera and a 5D. The 5D operates fine. Only the 7D shuts down.
