remove all but one stick of ram, try to boot with the ram in one slot.
if it will not boot move it to another slot.
if it still will not boot do the same thing with another stick of ram, then report back.

Tried all the possible combinations, but just to say , I can only use two of the slots because the CPU cooler is covering the other two , everytime the red led comes on and the gpu fan goes mad, except if I reset the CMOS, and then only the led comes on the fans are fine, but I can't use the power button I have to use the one on the psu. And nothing on my monitor ever.

Remove all power to the motherboard. Turn off power supply for sure. Remove all ram and then RE-apply power to the board. Board should beep the 'ram bad or missing' number of beeps. If it does not then the board is most likely bad in some way. Maybe a corrupt bios chip.
EDIT: After RE-applying power to the motherboard, you need to try to boot the computer and listen for any 'beeps'. I don't think I made that understandable.
END EDIT.

Going to be hard to get 'beep' codes then.

Definitely possible. Just a couple days ago I suggested to an OC newcomer that he should play it safe and start out by using the ASUS AI Suite to explore safe OC options and was rebuffed by several people, including Trents. I am sure that these same "OC purists" will continue to tell people with no knowledge about what they are doing to just start changing values in the BIOS, and threads like this one where somebody burned something up because of that will continue to pop up on a regular basis.

Yeah , but it was my fault really i couldnt remember what voltage they told me and i think i put the vcore up too high, anyway i got the first boot beep and then three more beeps in succession, and the dram light went out before it beeped.
