Hard to say exactly, your motherboards manual is crap and doesn't give error codes. The generic error codes for AMI EFI BIOS have two codes that may match whats happening to you.

2 short Memory parity error A memory parity error has occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC is probably bad.
2 short POST Failure One of the hardware testa have failed.

Either way, I'd first recommend that you reseat everything (CPU, Memory, etc) and try booting with the absolute bare essentials. Since your using an i5 that has onboard video, then I'd say only have the CPU and RAM and power plugged in and go piece by piece in your build. Also reset your bios back to factory in all this as well just in case theres an odd glitch of it trying to default to the PCIE as primary video.

Also make sure when you insert your RAM that you're doing it to spec. RAM modules should go in slots DDR3_1 and DDR3_2. Keep in mind that these two slots are not directly next to each other. You're basically doing an every other slot when you put memory in. The order of your slots as listed on the boards are DDR3_4, DDR3_2, DDR3_3, DDR3_1. Check page 16 of your manual for the illustration.

Swap the ports the RAM is plugged in to. Plug them in to DDR3_4 and DDR3_3 slots and give that a whirl. If still not working. Try one RAM stick and plug it in to each slot and try. Had a friend that had working memory and a working board, but two of his ram slots were dead and gave a bad memory error because of it. If none of your RAM works you may have bad sticks of hardware.

Make sure you've reset your bios however. You dont want a rogue setting in there screwing with your memory profile.
