Asus M2N-E Socket AM2 Post Problems

[mrjava241]

Hey,
I'm currently building a computer with the following parts:
AMD X2 3800 + AM2
Asus M2N-E Socket AM2 Mobo
Kingmax 1GB(1024MB) PC5300 DDR2 667MHz 240-pin Unbuffered DIMM
Asus EN7300GS/HTD/256M GeForce 7300GS PCI-E
250GB Sata WD HD.
DVD-RW

I've assembled the computer, however when I boot, there is no image on the screen and I get 1 Long and 2 short beeps. This means that there is some video card error. Well I thought the graphics card might be bad, but I tried it in another computer and it works fine. So I'm stuck now, I'm thinking it might be the Mobo or Ram, but Ram wouldn't create that POST error code if it was bad. So any ideas? Should I return Mobo or is there anything else I can try?
Regards,
Mike

Its going to be ram related...Ive seen this on these am2 boards. Try different ram or loosen your timings...You may want to try 1 stick at a time first...Also increase the ram voltage.
Is this ram on the approved list,if not try to install the latest bios.....There are alot of guys in the forums having simular problems and almost all are ram related even though your getting a video card beep code......try resetting the bios too................

its the ram. I had problems with my M2N-SLI Deluxe back in July. It wasn't compatible with OCZ ram so i had to get Corsair ram, which i like better

Corsair will work on that board...100%!!!!!!!!!!!
