Problem with New build

Problem with New build on start up.
I have
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Socket 775 (3.0GHz) 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache

Gigabyte GA-EP43-S3L iP43 Socket 775 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800Mhz/PC2-6400 GOLD XTC Memory Kit

Gainward 9800GTX+ 512MB DDR3 Dual DVI HDTV out PCI-E Graphics

Antec Sonata III Piano Black Quiet Mid Tower Case - With 500W EarthWatts PSU

Western Digital 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache - OEM Green Power

LiteOn 20x DVD±RW Dual Layer & Ram + Lightscribe IDE Black Bare Drive - OEM
Now i believe this could be the RAM modules being faulty.

With both sticks of RAM the computer will not reach any screen at all, it will beep once and the reboot (repeating this process over and over)

I decided to remove a stick of RAM, now the computer will boot to the post bios screen for about 20 seconds then will reboot again(over and over)

However one stick of ram will not work at all, and the blue light at the front of the case which is the hard drive LED does not switch on at all!

Any help is greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance. All these components are brand new from ebuyer (arrived today!)

hi cartera

Is everything connected properly on the motherboard? Beeping sounds usually indicate that something is wrong on the board itself or RAM is not plugged in correctly. Could be faulty RAM as well though - run Memtest on each stick. Try different slots and all chips on all slots just to make sure that your slots are working correctly as well. Most times, these things are not mentioned on online purchases and sometimes things get damaged during transportation.

I have checked and re-checked motherboard connections! How would i run memtest without another pc to check them in :S
Many thanks
