Hello! This is my first post after lurking for a while haha

I just tried to install 2x 4GB 1600MHz 1.35V Crucial Ballistix RAM sticks to replace 2x 2GB 1330MHz 1.5V Samsung sticks for my ASUS M4A78LT-M LE motherboard system. However, the motherboard gave me a long beep and 2 short beeps continuously and did not boot into anything.
So I went back to the old RAM and although there are no beeps, the computer does not boot. I have tried resetting BIOS via battery, tried every RAM stick on its own in both the RAM slots but nothing works and I am running out of ideas.

I read somewhere that the beep code is to do with video memory or something so I tried removing that as well - didn't work.

Please help!

Oh yea sorry for the late update but I ended up replacing the motherboard and now it works. I assume one of the RAM slots broke when I took the old RAM out.

Yhup this is the same situation as me, tried replacing PSU and even threw old one out. Now I have 3 PSU's and a broken computer. I may just build another one -_-
