Identical in all ways.
Buying ram in a matched package.
Matched packages have had all the ram modules tested together to make sure they work well together.

Im sorry but I dont know about "unlocked" MoBo so I didnt understood your point before. Well, I still have rooms to improved.
Alright, I think I dont know about it. Thank you for pointing that out. It just that I dont encounter any problem with this setup because I used those RAMs for the time I built this PC until now and not one instance that I had a problem with it, nor any replacement happened. I only can afford those RAMs at that time.
Your very welcome.
I have tried all kinds of ram in all kinds of ways.
After many hours of head aches, I learned to get matched ram.
Even doing ram test with mismatched ram will indicate good. But the ram test programs don't test if each stick of ram works well with each other.

I am kinda joining this thread late, so I hope this contributing post is useful for making some reflection. :)
Can you verify that the CPU Fan cuts out?
Can tephen start computer with case side pannel off? Can you also utilize a household fan to blow cold air across motherboard
Can tephen underclock CPU temporarily?
Best luck, iko22
Hello, iko22 and thank you for helping me!
To answer your questions:
1. The CPU fan is well functioning, and as I said, I cannot feel any heat from the copper tubes of my CPU cooler for it to say that temperature is a problem.
2. Yes, I am testing the PC with the side cover open, but if you are asking if it is running when side cover is open, then it is not. I did a breadboarding and it also failed.
3. I dont know about over/underclocking because i didnt tried it before but as far as I know, over/underclocking can only be done when I can run the PC normally which is not the case right now so I think it is impossible to do right now.
My problem is the motherboard. Gonna replace the unit. CPU and PSU are tested OK. I hope the discussions done here will help others who will encounter a problem just like this.
Thanks to @Acova @Layback Bear @Megahertz07 @RoasterMen @iko22 for sharing your knowledge and helping me. Hope you will help others just like you did to me.
MARKED AS SOLVED.
It's totally fine (about quotes), besides, they're optional.
By the way, if PSU left untouched for a long time, I think it can get pretty dusty in there as well. To be safe, take a second look for dust, and see if it is necessary to clean it.
You are not using PC yet anyways, it could be a good timing for cleaning. Not to mention performing visual checks on GPU as well. On other hand, I think, you're probably onto it already.
Have you been able to find out what part/member of MoBo went out of order?
If visually it wasn't visible, maybe some circuit burned or something else, but surely it would be nice to learn what part started to fail, though if you are done with researches of this kind ;D - it's understandable too.
In either case, it's good to know that the problem was found and you've finally made a step towards fixing PC.
(Beforehand) Congratulations to you whenever you reassemble PC and it works alright after "Power-On" event.
