The most probable reason for your system to fail is improper ram settings.
You cannot add different ram cards to your system. All ram cards should run at ram frequency and timings.
Also if you have 3 cards installed the cards are running at single channel not dual channel.
Try running your pc just with one ram stick installed also reset your bios settings.
