Me and my friend just built my new PC. The only problem is, sometimes, when restarting the computer (or after changing the bios), I get the following: A long beep, followed by silence, and then quickly two short beeps. (- . . )
It seems like this is a problem with the RAM. We've tried switching around the RAM in various slots, but this still occurs. One of the sticks didn't even allow for an installation of windows; it stalled, and wouldnt go any further. Is there any way to fix this, or is an RMA inevitable?

By the way, I'm using an Asus M2N-E Am2 motherboard with G.Skill RAM

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231087

Thanks for your help.
 
I'll try memtest really soon. I first tried out Oblivion, and no crashes occured. That was with one stick. Then swapped with the other stick. Finally, with both sticks. No crashes. The thing is, everytime I restart, it gets the long beep, short short beep. But, when I shut it down, and turn it back on, everythings fine.

I'm running memtest now.
 
I get the following error message, RMA needed?:

Memory Error detected for ward pair # 87760633, values 205219626, 2713911032 do not match.

EDIT: I got another error: # 36813872, values 3055932270, 3794213710 do not match.

Got a third error message.

EDIT: Well, I'm sending it back tomorrow. Hopefully the new RAM will work correctly. And hopefully I get it as soon as possible!
