RAM issues?

Hey i have Rampage IV Black edition and i've been getting beep error codes when i try to game. I'm running 4x Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model

At first it just gave 2 short beeps shortly after starting the game and i've been tryin to tweak various things since. It reads all my RAM and i've double checked the seating of the RAM every time. Just now it did 2 short beeps and then shortly after 4 short beeps. Not sure what my issue is here. The only thing that has changed since i started having this issue was i added a new fan to my tower case. I've been looking at the error code and not once has it said anything except AA. Also when i start getting the beeps i've been looking at the led's as well to check on what may be the issue but the only one lighting up are the standard running LED's for the hardrive etc.... now i spose it may be possible the RAM is getting to hot as i don't have my RAM cooling fan in yet, but would that give the 2 short beeps error? Any ideas?

Update: i tried running the Mem OK, and it said successful but then beeped 2 short beeps and gave an error code 34. It did however start up but then preceded to beep 2 short beeps again once i logged in with now error code showing on the mobo

Then you have something installed in the OS making sound or the OS is raising error warnings - are you getting any notification or error messages? If not, it's something you have installed on the system. Try a fresh install of the OS without any additional tools to debug what it is.

well i feel immensely stupid at this point.... after reformatting my hardrive and reinstalling windows i noticed something interesting as it beeped.... my peripheral temp monitor was flashing on and off.... turns out thats what was beeping....
