Hi

I recently did a small cleaning on one of my home servers, which I just set up for some small job.
I have cleaned some things, and replaced a Samsung DDR2 512mb ram to another (same type) which was korean instead of chinese.
After finished everything, replugged the enternet, keyboard and monitor cable, starting to boot up the computer, I had to listen this, looped:

Beep | nohing | Beep-Beep

There is no screen, the system is not responding, and of course not booting.
All the coolers are working, and I can't think anything could go wrong with it.
The motherboard is an Asus P5G-MX.

If anyone could drop me a useful hint I would highly appritiate it.

The RAM you installed is dead. The ASUS Beep code you described is telling you that "No Memory Detected". So you can do some checks to find the dead stick/s or ship them back straight away to get some replacements.

To find the dead stick:
Install only one stick of the ones you have installed currently and turn your system on and see if you have a video output
Then remove that stick, If it worked you know its working and if you had no video output you know its dead
do this for all ram sticks to find if you have one or more dead sticks

If you need it running now you can install your old RAM or use only your working sticks or just wait for Korea to send you another batch of poor quality RAM.

Some other error codes:
Long beep- three...

Some other error codes:
Long beep- three short beeps = no vga detected
Long beep -four short beeps = Hardware component failure
One short beep = no keyboard detected

Hope this works!

Both the solution and the method worked perfectly well! Thank you so much!

(True, the selection of dead memory sticks ended up with the selection of dumbs ( :'( ) who inserted RAM in the wrong way in. *facepalm*)
