ECS RS482-m Memory and Beep Codes - Help Please

Hi, i have an ECS RS482-m, and im having problems with the memory configuration on this board.

I got the board a few days ago and this is the first time ive used it.

I currently have a set of 2gb GSkill ZX PC3200 Memory, and for some reason it wont post when there is both sticks in. When there is one, it is completely fine!

If someone could help me out here that would be great, theres only two jumpers on the board (CMOS reset and BIOS WP) and nothing else.

I have tried both sticks in the 1st dimm slot and they work fine. So i know its not the memory. The motherboard definitely supports Dual Channel.

Also, when i boot with 2 sticks in i get long beeps and long pauses.

Is the voltage set correct for the ram?

What beep code are you getting? Its actually a code that is used for diagnosis.

Its just a long beep then a long pause, then a long beep again, continuously.

I cant find the error code reference for the rs482-m on the web anywhere though. I did find a generic one:

Basically it states that its a memory error, but doesnt clarify further.

Can anyone help?

Is this board just useless with dual channel, or have i got a borked board?

Will flashing the bios help in this case?
