Depending on your board AA revision, there are specific BIOS requirements.   What is your AA revisioon, and what bios version do you have?

SMBIOSBIOSVersion
WBIBX10J.86A.0293.2010.0419.1819

[alanmm]

how do you find the aa revision

[AlHill]

Still need the AA number.   Look on the board for the AA sticker and provide the number.

AA E64798-206 

[AlHill]

Your bios (0293) and AA (E64798-206) are OK.

Try using fewer sticks of memory.

there are 4 slots what should i start with like just 1 all the way to the right etc and if it does work will i be able to add the rest of the ram?

[AlHill]

Try removing one pair, and then the other, to see if the three beeps still occur.

That's one pair as in the DIMMs in the two black slots or the DIMMs in the two blue slots.

ok i got it to run with 1 stick of ram but right before windows would come up it would shutdown, when i rebooted with old processor it said thermal heat event any ideas?

[alanmm]

also if i fixed the thermal thing how do i add the rest of the ram

[n_scott_pearson]

First of all, that shutdown is an indication that your cooling solution is either improperly installed or insufficient for the new processor.
Once you solve that, try running with two DIMMs installed, one in each channel (i.e., DIMMs in the blue sockets).

i got 2 pieces of ram in but cant seem to get the 3rd and 4th without it beeping any advice

[alanmm]

Have you verified that, with the two sticks installed, you have fixed the thermal condition? Can you run for an extended period of time without thermtripping?

[alanmm]

yes no thermal problem it lets me put in ram in the 1st blue and 1st black slot but thats it

[alanmm]

i dont know what else to do, i can use the computer with i7 proccessor and only 8gb ram or i5 processor with 16gb ram this sucks
