CORSAIR TW3X4G1333C9A RAM

Hi

this is my first build and the computer wont even post, fans spin, graphics card, cd drive and hdd all power up,
motherboard led's light up and then it shuts down after about 5 seconds  repeating  this cycle over and over,
i've assembled  outside the case to check for shorts,installed cpu and heatsink 3 times,
checked all cables and connections at least 10 times, reseated ram, memory is installed in slots 1 and 3,
tried with 1 stick in each slot, checked cpu socket for damage or bent pins, i'm completely lost.
the only thing i can think of is the ram is not on the memory support list, but is for the  p55 platform and i5 750 cpu,
could this be the problem?

any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.
