Power down, unplug, carefully remove cmos battery, press power button 10 secs. Reassemble, boot.

Reset the battery and it's still doin the same thing. About to give up. I even put the battery in both ways and it didn't make a difference

Do you think this error could be caused because I'm using 1600mhz ram on a 1333mhz board?

No. But RAM of any speed must meet the motherboards specifications.
Building a new desktop PC with legacy keyboard and mouse is basic necessity. It just eliminates any compatibility problems like the one you may be dealing with.
See if you can borrow a keyboard from someone. Or buy a cheap portable keyboard.
Unplug all USB and wireless components until you have the machine up and running. Preferrably, don't start installing these things until Windows is installed and running well. The point is to minimize the potential number of errors.

Agree with TV2.
They specified on page 2 of manual, supports DDRIII 1066/1333 Mhz. 1600 should be able to clock down but you are outside their suggested specs.

^This. Faster RAM will usually clock down to a lower speed without issue, but there are always exceptions to the rule. The rule of thumb is to always follow the mobo specs and stay within them. If possible, I would try memory that is within the mobo spec and see if that fixes any issues.
