Good day everyone.
I am new to this forum, but I have an itching question. I've looked at other forums that have similar or even the same problems that I do but there never seems to be an answer.

So I have recently purchased a new mobo, CPU and RAM cards to go with it. I believe the installation went well as I followed online videos of how to install the CPU. The problem arises when I try to install the RAM that I have bought. I am aware that the sockets are strange in my mobo and I've been making sure to push down equally on both ends when installing the sticks but every time I boot the PC it beeps 5 long times before restarting and starting the procedure again. I have tested the ram sticks in all the slots and it seems that the only socket that works nicely is the 4th one and only if I have one stick installed. The moment I try use both sticks the beeping happens again. However now when I have only one RAM stick installed the beeping stops completely. Not even a startup beep, blank screen and just nothing.

I have felt the heat sink of my CPU and it's not hot at all.

The specs are as follows:
CPU - i5 7600k
Motherboard - Gigabyte B150M-D3H DDR4
GPU - Radeon RX 460
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 2133mhz DDR4
Heat sink - Raijintek adios
PSU - Huntley 550W

I have been scratching my head over this for days now and I am really hoping its not the CPU cause if it is I can't afford to replace it.

Thanks for the reply. I though it was something like that, however I do not have another CPU at hand. I see that the store that I am getting my hardware from has the B250M for the same price and will try exchange it for that one.

If I am not able to, is there any other way I could do?

Thanks
