3 beeps ram problem

davidgamer90 · Feb 2, 2017

Hi all, I am having problem putting together my new PC,
I hear 3 beeps when I first boot my PC and it is continuous,
I read in the manual that its a memory problem,
Can someone tell me if my ram is comparable with my board?
My ram is (hmt41gu6bfr8a-pbn0 AA 1446) and my board is (Intel DH67CL)

Thanks and I appreciate any help.

Try one stick. Try different slots.

SgtScream · Feb 2, 2017

Memory sticks at 1600mhz. Your motherboard only supports 1066/1333mhz.

yes, memory

insert properly the ram modules, they are not completely inserted

eject modules and reseat them into the slot

how many ram sticks do you have there?

on what of the four ram slots did you inserted the ram modules?

should be marked as dimm0 to dimm 3 or dimm 1 to dimm 4

please put only one on the dimm 0 or dimm1 and see if that lets you boot the machine

svan71, I have already tried all slots. It's just 1x8gb stick, same problem for every slot.

Sgtscream, I thought that would not be a problem and it would just run at 1333 speed?

atljsf · Feb 2, 2017

it is a old mainboard, it seems that is not compatible with that ram module, you need to find 2x4gb at that speed, kingston or corsair

perhaps toshiba or samsung, it is one of those mainboards that complains for these details

atljsf, Would this ram work?

1600 mhz ram is backward compatible, that specific stick your using is for whatever reason is not compatible. Get name brand memory you will not be disappointed.

yes, that seems to be the case, the intel board doesn't like that ram stick, something common with intel mainboards

never saw that brand, could repeat the situation you have now

this one is better

i have two of those on a old machine, bought them separately and they work perfectly

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/KINGSTON-KVR13N9S8-4-8GB-PC3-10600-DDR3-1333-DDR3-SDRAM-RAM-MODULES-KIT-/351966919579?hash=item51f2dcfb9b:g:MMAAAOSw6n5Xq0lP

now, if we depend on the list of supported ram modules from intel, the list is very limited

it looks like kingston or samsung to go for sure

davidgamer90 · Feb 2, 2017

Can you have a look at that eBay link and tell me if that kit will work? Thanks.

atljsf · Feb 2, 2017

i did, never seen that brand in my life so no idea if ti is crap part or decent part, that is why i mentioned those kingston parts

How about 2 of this?

Looks like it will work. I was a bit hesitant due to the ram being used, however there's a 30 day return policy. Just run memtest x86 on both modules individually when you get them.

davidgamer90 · Feb 2, 2017

Just bought 2 of the Samsung 4gb sticks, I will let ye know how if it works well when it arrives, Thanks.

davidgamer90 · Feb 12, 2017

So the problem was not the ram, it was that the board needs a bios update to support the ivy bridge chipset, and I didnt have another cpu that would work in it to update the bios so I returned the motherboard and the ram that I got and bought a new motherboard alltogether. It was a pain but at least I know what the problem was now, Thanks for all the help.
