Bad ram?

[Paintedeyes]

So I just put together a workstation today. Intel core 2 duo with a gig of 667 MHz ram(G.Skill).
Intel motherboard:

When I turn on the computer, I get 3 long beeps and no picture. I googled it and everything said that it was a keyboard error which is hard to believe. I looked at the intel manual and it said no memory. I put the 1 gig of ram in every slot and it has done the same thing. Is there any reason for this?

"You broke it...I told you not to touch it."

What kind of keyboard are you using? And, do you have another you can try (PS2)?

If there is a problem detecting a keyboard, it is unlikely that the BIOS will even POST thus, the error. Just put the ram in the slot reccomended by the manual and try a different type of KB.

I've had computers POST succesfully with no KB hooked up at all...

i'm using a standard keyboard. it has worked on other computers. Nothing shows up on the screen anyway so there is no post

Your board may be one that is very selective about the type of memory you throw in it.

I just threw in my brothers 1 gig stick of 533 and it worked so i guess it was bad memory or somethin
