Might try resetting CMOS, then try to boot into BIOS with a single stick.....also ensure you have the latest BIOS and give a try......

not too good with bios settings as i generally keep everything stock speeds and such, how exactly would i reset the cmos?

[thollis90]

updated to the latest bios and it booted it up fine, thanks for the help, so far no blue screens on web browsing/desktop idle, gonna try some gaming if rage will stop crashing ><
