    Are you sure the graphics card is compatible? What version is your pci-e slot? If it's version 1.0 and your card is say 2.1 then it won't work. Not all Pci-e cards are backwards compatible and some are.

    Sometimes the RAM will turn on, but will cause the system to immediately crash. Try it with one dimm at a time.

    @AllForIt my mother board is fairly new (msi b350 tomahawk) so i dont think the pcie slots are the problem , the pcie slots are pcie 3.0
