Hi, just this morning, my mobo wont seem to start up. it worked just fine last night and for the past few months.
It starts up with 3 short beeps, a pause, and then 3 beeps again. it will continue to do this until i just force shut it down.
I read on the ASRock site (http://www.asrock.com/support/faq.asp?k=beep+codes) that it is a "Main memory read / write test error"

my question is, how should i go about fixing this? im usually good with computers but this has me stumped, since ive never had to deal with the beep codes before.

BTW, this is my current build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CbQHJx
 
Solution
1. remove all but one stick and try booting to test which memory stick is faulty
2. try different configurations of memory sticks to see which configuration causes failure
3. run memtest

1) Try to restore bios settings with a bios reset switch/jumper.

2) Take out all memory modules and plug them 1 by 1 if the beep codes are still there even with only 1 module (try each one) then its either all modules are dead or there is something wrong with the mobo or even CPU.
