Hi, welcome to the forum and the builders club.

There is a link under my cpu banner that will give you step by steps to get you up and running. If after you have done everything in the steps and it does the same thing we'll go into more in depth trouble shooting. Follow all the steps with everything that is on your board. Don't skip any because you think you already did it wright. That's usually where the trouble is found, simple things. Good luck and let us know what you find because it does sound like memory or something isn't seated correctly or compatible.
