Solve : RAM/Motherboard problem?

Answer»

Hello, I have an OLD computer it has an Intel DP55WB Motherboard http://ark.intel.com/products/41162/Intel-Desktop-Board-DP55WB. I'm trying to put more ram into but I'm running into roadblocks every step of the way. It works fine with my one stick of Ram that is made by OCZ but any other ram does not work. I have tried Rip jaw brand RAM and when that failed I Tried Kingston value Ram 4GB sticks together and alone and nothing. It just gives me three long beeps when I try to turn it on. Any Ideas? I've thought about updating BiOS but I read of someone with a similar problem doing that and then being unable to use the RAM that originally worked.

Also, way back when I tried installing another stick of the same OCZ RAM I have in there now and it didn't work together either.

Any HELP would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
WarrenDid you check the compatibility list? If it's on here...

...it probably ought to work, if the board is OK.

Are you quite sure the board is not damaged (e.g. a bad slot or RAM CONTROLLER)? Also is all the rest OK? PSU?
