Here's a thread that explains how to get the on-screen display working in MSI Afterburner. I don't use it to overclock anything. I just use it to see CPU usage and temperatures while playing games.
So ive checked the ram slots.... when i plug single ram into 3rd or 4th slot, the pc wont boot up.....
Is it some sort of settings issue or wh...
If the bios was reset to default settings then ram in the 3rd or 4th slot should work without needing to mess with bios settings. Maybe some of the copper pins are bent in those slots.
That memory channel could also be burned out on the CPU. Slots 3 and 4 are on the same memory channel. So if they're not working, then it's possible that memory channel is burned out on your CPU. The memory controller is located inside the CPU.
That would only leave you one working memory channel (slots 1 and 2) and make running in dual channel mode impossible.
You can also try re-attaching the heat sink on the CPU. If it's not installed properly it can put too much pressure on one side of the CPU and cause the pins to not make contact.
Otherwise I'd say one of the memory channels is burned out on that CPU.
Ive updated bios, plugged the rams in 2nd and4th slot and the pc wont boot, conatantly turning on and off....ive reset the cmos, no change, its so frustrating, it feels like NOTHING on my pc is working....
You said you plugged them in slots 2 and 4. In what slots did you have them before?

That won't work on an Asrock board will it?

The board is old and dying, basically. You need a new one.

Not necessarily; you could always find another board with a compatible socket and chipset. A used mobo that works is better than one that doesn't.
2x9GB? I guess you meant 2x8GB?
