hello everybody 
for this problem, i need to give you some backstory:
so about a month ago i built my first gaming pc. when it was done, i of course started it, but unfortunately i got 5 beeps and no signal. so i checked with the motherboard manufacturer and i read that five beeps is a processing failure. which means that my cpu was either dead or had bent pins. so i checked my cpu but no bent pins. so i just put it back and i was done. after that, i just tried removing any parts and eventually i came to the RAM. i took out one ram stick and it worked!!! of course i was super happy. later i even managed to get two ram sticks in there so i had my full amount of ram again.
now comes the current problem:
my old pc (an acer ax1900) came with two stick of 2GB DDR3 memory. without even thinking i just thought 'well fuck it, let's just put in two random ram sticks without checking the compatability first' and stuck them in there. when i turned my pc on it gave me 5 beeps again. so i took out the 2 new sticks and tried turning it on again. and it gave me 5 beeps again. i tried placing each stick in every slot individually and i tried to do it paired together. i did this about 5 times but to no success. i searched for any bent pins on the mobo but there were none.
here's a list of what i tried:
all fans in my case are spinning, cpu fan is spinning, gpu fans are spinning for a few seconds but that's supposed to happen because it turns of it's fans during low usage. all my lights are turning on and my processor gives of some warmth.
- checking if all cables were plugged in properly
- removing the power chord and pressing the power button for thirty seconds
- resetting the CMOS battery
- checked my cpu for any bent pins
- cleaned my ram slots
- cleaned my ram sticks
- checked for burns on my motherboard
- checked for a burnt smell on my ram sticks
- checked for a burnt smell on my ram slots
- selling my soul to lord gaben hoping that he would bless me
- trying to booth without any ram sticks in the slots
on some forums i saw people talking about updating bios, but how is that possible when i get no signal on my monitor.
current system specs
cpu: AMD athlon X4 860K stock
gpu: MSI GTX 950 gaming 2gb
ram: 2x4gb crucial ballistix sport
motherboard: ASrock fm2a88m extreme 4+
psu: evga 80+ 500w power supply
case: sharkoon vg5-w
