Try clearing your CMOS this way. Unplug the PSU and then remove the CMOS battery. Press and hold the case power button for a couple of minutes, and then replace battery and plug the PSU back in. Now try booting with the new RAM. If it fails to boot, try each stick individually in each RAM slot to check for a bad stick or slot.

The Fury are a newer line of sticks (post 2010) and run off PnP - neither of which is compatible with your mobo - might look for the older NT series of value DRAM which is among the few available that are made with the low density (pre 2011) memory ICs your CPU was designed for

The RAM that Tradesman1 suggested should work without issue.
