It kept beeping at me, officer

So the Gigabyte manual has been pretty useless, since it has no troubleshooting section whatsoever. Thank Azathoth for Google, however, since I was able to find this great list of AMI BIOS beep codes.

Lacking - as I currently am - a response from Gigabyte, I've decided on the following course of action:

  1. Start switching around the memory DIMMs, to make sure that it's not them who are causing the issue.
  2. Test with new DIMMs, in case both were fried.
  3. Setting back my old processor fan, in case the motherboard is not recognizing the new one as valid.
  4. Getting an Athlon on a loan from a friend, try to see if it works with a different processor.
  5. Give up altogether and get a new motherboard on e-Bay.

Bloody pain in the neck, is what it is.
