If reseating the RAM doesn't work, clear your CMOS. If that doesn't work, make sure all your cables are plugged in properly. If that doesn't work, your best bet is to just buy a 4GB stick of RAM and sap it with your current 4GB stick. If it works, your RAM was the issue. If it doesn't work, then all I can think of, is your GPU would be broken.

I've been in touch with my brother who has a 4gb stick he is going to let me use so I will see if that fixes the problem.

Thank you everyone for the help and input!

Update: Tested my RAM in my brother's system and my RAM works fine, so this is not a memory issue.. it is also not a graphics issue.

Is it possible that this is a power supply issue at all? My power supply is the only part of my machine that isnt new, it is in fact about 7-8 years old.

Also, if it is possible at all that it is a CPU issue (which I am doubting), how would I diagnose that problem? Do I take off the heatsink and fan and reseat the CPU and re-apply thermal paste?

Normally 3 Beeps is a ram related problem.

It could however be the motherboard or like you said unlikely but the CPU could be the cause.

Try and use the CPU in another compatible system, its a pain but the best way of diagnosing the problem. If the CPU works fine its going to be the motherboard, seeming though its not the ram,gpu,or cpu. Doubt its the PSU as the PSU is still powering your board along with other components

If your getting power, the PSU won't be the problem. PSU problems are usually either no beep, a continuous beep or repeated short beeps. From what you've explained, the only things that I can think of being the issue, is either the RAM or GPU. It could be a motherboard issue, and if you had a power outage recently, that could be the cause. If you're sure the RAM and GPU are the problem, your best bet is probably to buy a new motherboard. What is your current CPU?
