Personally I wouldn't RMA anything untill your 100% sure whats faulty. tbh at this moment you don't have a clue.

and they said it need to clear cmos how do i do that ?

there will be a jumper or a switch.

Or you could remove the battery on the mobo for about 10mins that usually does the same job

It's mad late, so see how a fresh try tomorrow works out.

I'd break it down and rebuild before sending anything back.

Touch the case with both hands before lifting each component and then lift and push it in seriously firmly.

what does it mean cpu init on lcd screen ?

I've got the same board.

CPU iniitialising ( as posted above )

( It will CPU Init even with minimal power , so this doesn't rule out the PSU )

The next stage in the boot cycle is detecting RAM ( det dram ).

There is a clear CMOS "push button" switch on the back of the board - where all the USBs etc. connect.

Make sure that that is not stuck in and catching on the "connector plate" ( forgot what its called - the silver thing with holes punched out of it

)

Change the VDimm - Ram voltage - to support your Ram.

The board may undervolt slightly so check the Windows reading aswell.

i.e my Ram needs 2.1 volt in Windows / So i set it at 1.8v in the Bios.

Change your Northbridge to ~ 1.5 volts ( for $gb of RAM ) - Check your temps.

This should stabilise the Ram.

Than try with more sticks ( one at a time )

Are you using the soundcard that came with the board ?

Are you putting it in the top Black PCI slot ?
