New computer with old parts won't boot

[geetrue]

Can the fact that you have 32gb of ram in four dimn slots at 8gb each slot cause a problem of the computer not even coming on?

I get no action, no lights, no bells or whistles, no nothing happens

The manual says that the memory slots can only accomadate up to 16gb total using 4gb only at a time.

I ordered 4 4gb sticks, but it was a black friday sale at Newegg and they sent me 4 8gb sticks. I didn't want to complain I can use them someday.

So would that keep it from coming on even?

or would the CPU be the reason?

The CPU is 2 core and can be opened up to four core.

The review said that you had to start off with a small 4 core CPU to build up the bios to handle the new 6 core which is just an up grade issue someday, but not right now.
