Hi, could really do with some help here, at first time start up I keep getting the BIOS beep one continuous beep followed by 2 short beeps then a pause (repeated. this indicates no memory detected, THIS IN TURN WONT LET ME INTO THE BIOS, I have tried resetting the Jumpers, taking the on board battery out and resetting the jumpers, I am using DDR3-1066MHz RAM.
I have pressed the Mem OK button to begin automatic memory compatibility tuning for a successful boot and I have tried more new ram, all to no avail, could do with some ideas to sort this problem out PLEASE

Have you tried booting up with only a single stick of RAM? How much voltage is your RAM rated for?

Thanks for your reply Felang, I sussed the problem, I didn't insulate one of the screws for the motherboard so it was causing a short, sorted it and its fine now.
