Yeah, I did read your guide, but I got lost in it.... :wtf:

Edit: I'm lost. let me show you what I see.

That looks like nothing you said. I never changed RAM frequency.
 
In your 2nd picture, at the top, do you see where it says Target DRAM Frequency? That is your DRAM Frequency with your present settings.

Now try changing the "actual" DRAM Frequency Setting to one of your options and see what effect it has by looking at the Target DRAM Frequency. I suggest trying the DDR3-1600MHz option 1st.

When you change this setting you'll need to increase your IMC Voltage, I would start at 1.3 volts and work my way down again.
 
If you get it to boot, you always need to run LinX or some stress testing program. What's your RAMs exact model number?
 
Looking at the 1st picture

change these

CAS# Latency - 9
RAS# to CAS# Delay -9
RAS# PRE Time - 9
RAS# ACT Time - 24
Timing Mode - 2N

And in your Voltage Setting make sure the DRAM Voltage is set to 1.5 volts.

If the PC fails to post you may have to raise the DRAM Voltage, most DDR3 1600 memory modules need 1.65 volts but G.Skill says 1.5 so I'd try it 1st.
 
Wow ok, your timings are wrong, and you should be running your ram at 1600Mhz not 1200Mhz. So. Change settings to this:

DRAM Frequency: 1600Mhz
BCLK: 200
Where it says 8-8-8-22 in your first pic, change it to 9-9-9-24
Where it says 2N change it from auto and manually set it to 2N
Set the DRAM voltage to 1.5v
