So im testing my first build outside of the case only using my gpu, ram, and cpu. I checked the pins on my mobo for any bent ones and it was fine whenever i turn the board on with my components it beeps 5 times with all fans spinning shuts off and then repeats this in a loop. The only part im not sure is ok is my ram seating. I lines it up with the key hole but my ram slot only has one latch to lock on my mobo. When i press the ram in it can only really click from the side opposite of the latch it still sits in all the way and is even however

Specs are

Mobo: gigabyte h110m-a micro atx board
Cpu: intel i3 6100
Psu: EVGA 430 watt
Ram: 1 stick 8gb ddr4 ballistix sport
Gpu: Gtx 950

You really should post your system specs and manufacturer (RAM, CPU, mobo, PSU etc) if you want help on these forums.
However, that said, I suspect this IS a RAM issue. Probably you don't have the modules right next to each other or something like that. Use sockets 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 (NOT 1 and 3 or 2 and 4) OR vice versa - it's all manufacturer/model dependent (check the manual). Not having the modules completely home can also cause errors like this.

it can be hard to install on some motherboard...you really need to pusn somehow hard ...you need to use two fingers to push it correctly

but the most important its to install them in the right memory slots ...like they show in your motherboard s manual

check if your cpu power connector is install (8 pins or 4 pins)
