So after heading back and trying to put 1 ram stick in slot 4 (B2) then it suddenly worked, and i finally got the pc to post, so thank you for your help and feedback :). very strange error, but hey, it works now.

Is there anything else to do or am I cooked and will need to rma it?

I do believe that is the right one, I don't have the physical manual right here now, but that looks right. And I have actually not tried connecting it in A2, I know i said I had tried every port, but now that i think about it, there were some i rushed, my bad. Also, are these like new things...

From what people here have said it seems better to see if any tech companies here can fix it, if not, i'll just have to buy a new board, one of the resistors or capacitors were shattered, and i couldnt find the other one, so replacing them is not easy as i don't know their values, but thansk for...

Whilst creating my new pc, i had forgotten to remove the pcie brackets. I thought i just had to take them off as you would on any other motherboard, but these were strange. they were adhesed to it instead of screws or any similar type i had seen before, so i checked youtube and similar places...
