My computer won't post or does it only sometimes. I tested the memory with memtest. Said 2 sticks were bad. I then got it to boot up with the other 2. A few days later it wouldn't post again. Checked memory and had 1 stick bad. Found it funny memory is going out this fast. Rechecked bad memory and 1 came back good. So I rotated slots with the 2 that tested good and got it to boot with memory in bank 2 and 4. Would not boot in the others. Ordered 2 new sticks of memory and put them in today and now it won't post again no mater how I put them. Motherboard gigabyte ga-ep45-ds3r/ds3. Dual core 3.0 processor. 4 gigs of ram crosair. Windows 7 32 bit

It is a BFG 800 watt. While I was posting my question earlier I had left my computer one. It give 20 code beeps then shut off. Then turn on again and do the same thing. I quit hearing it and went in my room and it had booted up with a 1gig stick of ram in banks 2 and 4.
Update. Got it boot with 3 sticks. When I put the 4th one in it starting giving several beeps (20) then would turn off and back on again and do the same thing. Then it would post and stay on the splash screen and then cycle back to that again with no beeps. I finally got it back going with 2 sticks in banks 3 and 4.
