Fatal Bios Beep Codes

I just built a new rig yesterday and I am receiving 3 long beeps when I try to start it up. The Gigabyte Mobo has Ami Bios whichs states that 3 beeps is a base memory failure. I have tried reseating the memory and moving it to different dimms, but nothing helps. Anyone have any ideas?

I think it is a DOA mobo or memory dimm.
 
Very rare all the RAM slots on mobo go bad. Hv u seated the RAM in the right way ? (I'm not undermining ur capabilities...but there is 1 guys here in AT who got his PC working by putting the RAM REVERSE...HE CLAIMED. To me, more like he put it reverse the first time!).

If u can get a hand on another stick...try it out.
 
Bought a test stick from Best Buy (30 day return no doubt). Works fine. I found out that registered ECC ram has been incompatible with most new DDR boards.

If you are buying a KT266A board, use the cheap memory. The ECC Registered won't work in most boards.
