Your RAM shouldn't cause any problems (it's actually faster than you need).
It sounds like you may have a case short. When you installed the motherboard did you use the standoffs supplied?
Probably the best thing to do is bench test a barbones system. Remove the motherboard from your case, connect only the CPU, video card and memory, see if you can get it to post. If so, start adding hard drive, sound cards etc, rebooting after each one. When you've confimed everything works on the bench, then reinstall it in the case (being careful to watch for any grounding of the motherbaord and case).

Try clearing your BIOS/CMOS by using the onboard jumper, or removing the battery and disconnecting the power for at least five minutes.

No beeps from your motherbaord, no post. Sounds like either a bad motherboard or bad power supply. The power supply could be tested at a local computer store using a power supply tester. If that's okay, I'd RMA the motherboard.
