Three beeps is most cases denotes to the memory being defective. So that's what I think. You will have to RMA it and get a new one or buy from trusted vendors like Newegg, kingston, memorystock.com etc

P.S - Sorry for the late reply:hum:

Could you let me know the specifications of the new memory? Also could you let me know the number of beeps you hear?
