Computer doesn't boot, PLEASE HELP

Your using 8Gb likely double sided double density ram which most integrated memory controlers treat different from single sided in that it can't be ran as quick due to timing etc, on Amd boards I could describe further but I'm I5 iliterate I'm affraid.
Try much looser timings ,look up your mobo and find out its max speeds allowable for DS/DD ram, then look up your memory and check you have the timings set right if so loosen the timings a bit more and retry.
I say this cos I've often had issues with my mobo and different memory, inc it appearing the same as your fault does.
Ie its memory timing profiles are not liked by your mother board , what speed are you running it at too ,1333 would be best for initial testing at jedec set timings ,then if it works slowly clock it up to the best speed it can do.


Oh and this suggestion or one like it should have been near the top before hardware swaps , shit my pc took me setting the timings with 1 Mushkin stick in as 2 didn't work as yours are until its base timings were right and guess what it stalled on the ram led on post too.

There is a reason some memory profiles dont work on some boards, and it starts with them not being on a manufacturer's list. It doesnt matter if its a AMD or Intel board, all makers have a list of whats works for each board.


Okay, this is getting weird lol... I tried something i haven't tried yesterday wich was to connect both sticks bad connected, i mean i connected them on A1-A2 and guess what... It did boot up... If i connect the correct way A2-B2 it doesn't boot, A1-B1, B1-B2 does not either. What the hell...
Before we go any further, can you verify which type you have, DDR3 or DDR4 memory. I ask because G. Skill makes both types, both named Aegis. Check what the BIOS reads them as labeled.

This boards QVL lists only DDR4. On top of that, there is no G.skill in the 2133 QVL section. G.skill only lists the DDR4 type @2133 speed. HERE>.

I have DDR4 RAM, the RAM's i have are this ones: F4-2133C15D-16GIS
Since it's not on the list, that may be the problem? I'm going to the shop swap them out for this ones: HX421C14FB/16 (Wich are two of this one: HX421C14FB2/8) and its on the vendor list of the motherboard.
