Hello all,

I know there are lots of people who build a pc and it won't work and now I am one of them.

My problem is related to my ram stick/slots as when I try to boot my system it beeps 3 times every time. All the fans spin and everything lights up though.

I bought new parts (motherboard, video card) and kept my old ram: Corsair xms3 1600Mhz (2x4).

So I know where the problem is, but I have no clue how to fix it, I tried putting 1 card in one slot and tried all slots in this process. Still no results or display and still the 3 beeps.

Here is a part list:
Motherboard: msi 970A-G46
Processor/Cpu: amd fx 6300
video card: msi geforce gtx 960 4g
Memory: Corsair xms3 1600Mhz DDR3 1.65v
Storage: Seagate barracuda 7200rpm 500Gb

Sorry for the long post but I hope there is a mastermind who could possibly help me :)
