For some reason my computer doesn't load with this RAM. I have removed anything unncecessary such as GPU and my old stick to check if it works but it doesn't. Is there a compatibility issue?

The computer starts but there is no display and the light on my monitor keeps blinking.
 


No change
 
As Motoxyogi suggested, the RAM is not approved for that board. It is 1600 RAM, while board only supports up to 1333. I thought there was a chance it would still run at 1333, but it looks like you'll need to get ram as approved for that board.
