Bootup problem in A8N-SLI

[allsys]

Just put a system together with the following components:
A8N-SLI Delux
Athlon 64 -3000
513 Samasun DDR400 Memory
200 Gig Seagate Barracuda SATA HDD
ATI 600x PRO PCI-e 256 Meg Video

When I boot up the system, I get one second beeps at 1 second intervals. I thought this might have have been a memory problem, so I bough another stick of 512 Meg Kingston DDR400 Ram. Same problem. Any ideas?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.
Ken

Isn't there any beep code table in the motherboard manual?

This board has a voice reporter. Plug some speakers into the green jack of the onboard sound riser. You should here "System failed CPU test" or "System failed VGA test" ect....

First thing you should try, is to reseat the SLI selector card this thing is really picky.

The beep indicates a problem with Memory. I changed the RAM to a new Kingston one without any success.
I also tried the prompt through the speakers, nothing.
Could this be a faulty dimm slot the Mobo?

Thanks

Could be. Are you putting the memory in the right slot? Is it seated correctly (I mean you have done thsi before right?). Are you earthing yourself before touching the RAM?

First of all, make sure you inserted the memory into the proper slot, B1, as stated in the manual. Also, make sure the RAM you are trying to use is on the approved list from Asus.

And start ALL fresh builds by clearing the cmos.
