No not that im aware of. Try switching dims in different slots, I remember a similar situation changing slot solved the issue. Worth giving a try :)
Thanks

Beep Codes - Explanation:

"Ami Bios : 2 short beeps = Your computer has memory problems. First check video. If video is working, you'll see an error message. If not, you have a parity error in your first 64K of memory. First check your SIMM's. Reseat them and reboot. If this doesn't do it, the memory chips may be bad. You can try switching the first and second banks memory chips. First banks are the memory banks that your CPU finds its first 64K of base memory in. You'll need to consult your manual to see which bank is first. If all your memory tests good, you probably need to buy another motherboard.

Phoenix Bios : Any combo of beeps after two means that some of your memory is bad, and unless you want to get real technical, you should probably have the guys in the lab coats test the memory for you. Take it to the shop.

Award Bios : Unfortunately there are many versions of the Award BIOS, and they are supported not by one company, but by the motherboard maker. Award's website states "Award Software software products are sold to a board or system manufacturer ("hardware vendor"), who customizes them further before selling the system. Award Software cannot supply upgrades for a BIOS that has been subsequently modified by hardware vendors."

right parts in the pics. but nothing happened. my buddy is troubleshooting atm. any further ideas would be a blessing.

might it be 4gb max total? 2gb max per card? manual states 4gb max so i thought it might be 4g per. perhaps it's 2gb per card?

manufacturer website states 8gb max at 2x4gb
