You seem to most likely have faulty ram, or possibly, damaged ram slots (not very likely). I would check out this video, as it has helped many people. If you can, try to maybe find an old stick of ram and test if your computer will start.

It could also be that there is an issue with 4 sticks of ram, you should try booting with only one stick and swap each one out to see if it actually boots. If they all work, move to 2 sticks at dual channel and see what happens from there.
