I dont have this Board but you might try this? just a idea k turn off turn back on and hold down the insert key should put you into your bios

Take out 2 sticks of ram and leave 1 in the topmost orange slot..ie closest to edge of board and try boot.

fixed it put in the top slot (yellow) and worked fine. nearest to the edge of motherboard

 

now where do i put the next 2 ram sticks?

Are 2 sticks of your RAM paired (the same). Using unmatched RAM on these boards is problematic. Also, I don't think you can use the 3rd odd stick. The RAM needs to be paired

 

To get the rig booted

 

1) Clear CMOS: Pull battery. Use clear CMOS jumper as per manual.Let sit 10 minutes. Replace

 

2) Put 1 stick of ram in orange slot farthest slot from CPU. Boot. If POST enter BIOS via Delete key. Load Optimized defaults. Enable memtest in BIOS. Save and exit.

 

3) Reboot. Let Memtest test #5 run for 30 minutes or so. Shut down.

 

4) Switch RAM sticks. Run Memtest again on other stick.

 

5) If no errors, install both sticks of RAM in orange slots, and rerun Memtest.

 

6) Only after a clean Memtest Run can you load your Operating System
