Re: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P - Wont boot on Dual Memory !

This is caused by incorrect tRD (Static tRead Value), set too tight (Low) by auto normally

Set each channel tRD manually, if you are using 333 FSB try 7-8 for now, if you are using 400+ FSB try 9

Also put performance enhance on standard, and you may need 1.24 MCH, but what you are using now could be fine the beeps will stop once you set tRD looser as I suggested.

If you can't get into the BIOS with both sticks to do this, use one stick and then set these and save/apply F10 and reboot to windows then shut down and put in the second stick

Please give me your full BIOS settings in a template and I will advise back.

Is it only that one game, or do others give you issues too? Just wondering if it is maybe this game itself, or drivers for it or your GFX card, ect and not just your settings.

Test other games if you are not sure.
