i just got intel DG43RK board from pcandparts , i hooked everything together but the 3beeps , no video , problems occurred .
as for the 3 beeps it indicate ram problems , my rams specs are patriot 2x2gb 1333 (pc3-10600 1333mhz cl9) , i tried every possible switching , after some online searching , i found that the 1333 support must be triggered from the bios (OC) or i have to update bios to higher version , so what should i do right now? i cant access bios to oc the rams , i cant boot to update bios , and im not sure if i get a lower frequency ram it will works....should i return the board or get a lower frequency ram?
regards

If you read the Release Notes for the latest BIOS 088, you will see "Added memory support for DIMMs with 2Gbit SDRAM density". You can use your single 1GB stick to update the BIOS to Version 088, then you can install 2GB DIMMS.
Note:
If the current BIOS version is 0070 or earlier, you must first update to version 0085 before you can update to #088 version.
Also check the QVL list of the board for RAM computability

Try moving the yellow jumper on the board to the other pins to force boot it into the BIOS. Also Patriot RAMs in Lebanon are known to have issues in dual channel mode. Try running them in single sticks.
