Solution
First thing - go into the computer and make sure all the components are properly seated. For a complete list of what to check Please click on the link under my banner. Also, clear the cmos settings to make sure they are on default.
It doesn't like your RAM. Try one stick in DIMM 0 and then update your BIOS. if you still have problems you should probably call gigabyte technical support.

Solution
I ran into this problem before on a gigabyte board with DDR3. For whatever reason it doesn't like the dual channel link with certain memory types. In my case it was corsair XMS DDR3.


 
Aye thanks sutech!!!! Your answer helped....lol I tought that the big powersupply pin would support the power for the motherboard and cpu...lol guess I was wrong!
