 Mabe try moving the ram around and putting it in different slots. I also once heard that rubbing the contacts on the ram with a rubberband helps but im not sure if that works. You could try taking out your expansion cards and unplugging the hard drive and see if it boots then

Now there's a problem with either RAM or the slot, currently my RAM is installed in slot B but as I move it into A slot the PC doesn't even start. And I tried rubbing with the rubberband when I removed earlier but it didn't work.

How many slots do you have on your board. By the way you should by careful to ground yourself while touching ram and components so you do not shock the board. Also are there any burn marks on the contacts on the ram. When ram fries it sometimes leaves one of the contacts chard.

I don't know what is wrong, maybe you should try powering the build outside of the case but that can be very time consuming. If I where you, id try moving the ram around some more but that probably will not help. You could flash the bios (I don't know how to do this). If you are interested in a new build for cheep, you could try finding a used motherboard ram cpu combo. I recently got an x58 motherboard with a 12 thread xeon and ram for 125$ and it is really nice. You could also try looking for second generation or newer intel although id try to get an i5 in those.

Yes

Make sure nothing is in  the DIMM slots, eg dust, and make sure they are the same 'PC' spec. Eg make sure they're both PC12800 instead of being different.

I know. I need to update this. And I will. Eventually.

Ok, So I removed my USB drives and now my PC is in the advance settings.
