Can you be more specific as to what kind of motherboard it is, and do you know what kind of BIOS is has.

If I'm correct that motherboard has a small 'screen' on it somewhere. It normally displays two characters, does it?

the mother board is MSI P7N 750i SLI ready platinum

the rest of the computer is as follows:

According to the msi website:
1 long, 3 short Conventional/Extended memory failure
Might be something wrong with your ram, make sure its seated properly and in the correct slots.
