I had a friend walk me through it. I removed the battery then he told me to touch these pins with a screwdriver. but he told me that i needed a new mobo anyway because mine is a couple years old.

I put one 4 gb stick in and plugged it into the on board graphics after reseating the cpu and no dice.

it turns on fine works fine shows dual uefi bios splash screen that says delete for bois/q-flash, f9 for sys information, f12 boot options, end q-flash.
no matter what i press after the splash screen it just goes black.

if all else fails i will be replacing my mobo and psu.
