So i recently bought Ram and its called the

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8gb (1x8gb) and my Motherboard is the Asus P5P43TD Pro

and i put the ram in the ram slot and i when i start up the computer all i get is a black screen with the fans running
 
Solution
The Corsair is prob a newer line made with high density memory ICs that aren't compatible with the older chipset, look for the original GSkill Ripjaws or their NT line of value DRAM that use low density ICs
Ok there can be a couple op options that can be wrong
#1 RAM is not seated properly, make sure the ram is seated untill both clamps clamp up by themselves.
#2 the frequencies my not be compatible, for instance, maby your PC cant handle 1600mHz or 2000+ mHz ram
#3 your PC may require low voltage, meduim voltage or high voltage, make sure about it
#4 your pc is not capabe of handling that much ram.

Try reseating the ram in every slot then start up and tell me if it fixed the problem
Thank you :)
