Now, I'm not sure what BIOS I have, but the beep code indicates either "Conventional/Extended Memory" problem or something to do with the video card.

-Have you tried the RAM in a seperate computer known to work? You could have just bought a bad stick of RAM, I have had this happen on occasion. This would be my first guess with the Conventional/Extended Memory problem. If you don't have another computer to try the RAM in, see if you can borrow a friend's computer and or stick of RAM to try in your computer.
-Does the motherboard have onboard video? If so, hook your monitor up to that.
Hope this helps!
