did you try booting with one RAM stick in at a time? in every configuration? Each stick in each slot (only one in at any given time) until it posts.

Most common is seat your card in the top slot, check pcie power connector, check CPU power connector, reseat the ram

I would make sure that all the front panel connectors are connected properly first. This is usually the cause of problems.
