PLEASE HELP I WANT TO PLAY COH THIS WEEK END.....

THANK in advance.

I read it can be my videocard it not seat well in the slot!
 
There are a few possibilities including: Short {HSF, Standoff, etc}, Wiring {Power 8/24 pin, Header short}, etc including a bad MOBO.

Q - Need more specific list of parts:
1. RAM Exact Kit(s) used ; I prefer a link
2. HSF {CPU Fan stock or specific aftermarket}
3. PSU
4. GPU
5. CPU

Try unscrewing the MOBO and PCIe screws and move the MOBO away from anything conductive i.e. dangle support by a towel and 'try' again. Use (1) stick in the second DIMM slot from CPU, failure try a different stick, failure try the DIMM slot closest to CPU.

Failure again - Clear CMOS - use the Jumper method listed in the manual {pulling the CMOS battery isn't the same as a 'Jumper' clear ; see -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdHH9KrceR0

ram are : KINGSTON KHX1600C9D3X2K2/4GX(XMP) 4GB ( 2x 2GB ) kit like that and my GPU it a MSI GTX295 powersuipply ATX 750watts from cooler master, intel SSD 120GB SATAII 3GB/S and cpu AMD phenomII x6 1090T with a thelmaltake for AMD AM2+/AM3/AM3+ but i read someone had the same problem and he found is videocard wasn't sit well in the pci-e slot.
 
Sure if a GPU or ANYTHING isn't seated properly it will cause a post failure. I assume the 6-pin & 8-pin on the GTX 295 are connected to the PSU.

There are a bunch of Thermaltake and most have metal mounting brackets. Couple of observations and suggestions regarding the HSF installation: 1. NO Metal to MOBO contact regardless of installation manual - use plastic washers; 2. Shorting will cause all sorts of oddball boot/posting errors. Therefore, if the 'dangling' pseudo breadboard fails my recommendation is to use/try the stock HSF.

I have noted a few bad SABERTOOTH 990FX MOBOs.
