hi guys im back for more help

i had upgraded my dell 660s i5 3300 to i7 3770 and the 8gb 1600 ram to 16gb 1600 ram but it has all been crappy .
first of all it has ran too hot like 70-85 degrees and then the ram had a cas of 7 which the dell didnt know what to do with so it downgraded the ram to 1333.

so i decided to put back in the i5 and the original ram and was going to get a asrock z77 so i could build an extra gaming pc with sli 970's the 3770 and the ram that the dell couldnt handle .

now the real problem happened when i tried to boot i get 2 beeps which i figured meant ram so i re-seated it and still 2 beeps then i tried the g.skill that worked before even though the dell ran it at 1333 but still 2 beeps .
the only way i am posting here is with one stick of ram a measly 4gb .
i didnt push down hard installing the ram only till they clicked .

is there anything to try?
