Asrock G41M Motherboard with DDR3 RAM

Hi all,
I have a new Motherboard - Asrock G41M-VS3 R2.0. But, after install all the hardware, the computer does not start. Only CPU fan is spinning, but no beep / POST, and PC screen is blank.

I'm thinking, is the problem caused by unsupported / mismatch CPU FSB and memory frequency?
The CPU and RAM that i use
- CPU: Intel Celeron 430 FSB 800 MHz (Also tested with Intel E5400 FSB 800)
- RAM: New Kingston DDR3 1333


As stated in the motherboard Manual, the CPU FSB frequency and its
corresponding memory support frequency are(You may refer to attached pic as well):

CPU FSB 1333 - Support DDR3 800, DDR3 1066, DDR3 1333
CPU FSB 1066 - Support DDR3 800, DDR3 1066
CPU FSB 800 - Support DDR3 800
CPU FSB 533 - Support DDR3 800


So, the problem is, i'm using CPU with FSB 800 together with DDR3 1333 RAM. Is that possible with this motherboard? I though the motherboard will downclock the RAM frequency to match the CPU FSB.

I also tried to turn on the PC without RAM, and i can hear the beep sound(indicate no RAM). In addition, i'm sure the Power supply is OK.

So, i would like to know, what is the possible problems?
1) unsupported CPU FSB with the RAM?
2) Bad motherboard?
3) Bad DDR3 RAM? (It is a new RAM. And I do not have other DDR3 RAM to test also)

Detail about the Motherboard ASRock > G41M-VS3 R2.0

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
