Very Odd POST issue

ive been in the process of building a computer for my dad:

GIGABYTE GA-G33M-DS2R
E2160
4GB ram
antec earthwatts 380w

now im just so fucking pissed off with this computer
i have tried 4 cpus, 3 sets of ram, 2 psus

2 cpus are dual cores
the other 2 are quads

both of the quads will post fine, both of the duals will not

ive reset the cmos as well.
with the duals in i get no beeps
with quads in i get 1 beep and it boots up
with dual in and no ram i get 3 beeps

so i am going to have to change the motherboard next..

whats even more strange is about 3 months ago when i first built this i had a similar issue but switching out the ram made it work, i let it sit around for a few months, go to use it again, and this crap happens again.
 
both duals are 800fsb and both quads are 1066fsb
and ive tried 800mhz and 1066 ram

E2140 and E4300 dont work
Q6600 and Q6700 both work

i have the latest bios for the motherboard too
