Take out the little battery with the PSU Switched off and unplugged. Then Put it back in at 15Seconds and switch everything back on. It will clear all your motherboard settings though.

Remove the silver button cell battery on the motherboard, wait for 10 seconds, then put it back in.

Try taking the ram out and putting it back in again; I've had systems give no response before, just because the ram wasn't seated properly.

the thing is, i have an 8 gig stick and i tried doing it with that and it worked just fine, but for some reason when i install the 16 gigs it doesnt boot.  I tried it with the 8gig and without

You might be able to put the ram sticks in different slots,  if you have a 4-dimm board. There is a slight possibility that the one of the slots is dead, and of course, one of the ram sticks may be dead. Do you have any other computers that would accept the ram?

Try reseating the graphics card, putting in a different card, putting it in a different pcie slot, or use a different video output port.

 

That's pretty much all I can think of...
