that looks like double sided to me, which is the one ive got. does this mean the bleeping is because of the wrong memory?!

I don't think that memory is supported by your board but the description on ebay is not good.

What does the post code say? If its C1h- C5h then that is a memory error and I suggest you go to http://corsair.com/

And use their configuarator to get some good memory for the board.

Also did you follow artic silvers instructions to clean and apply the thermal paste?

certainly did, thermal paste is on

ive ordered some more memory, hopefully thatll be the end of it

ill let you know x

If there are chips both sides of the board (which can't be analysed from the photo) and there are 8 or 9 chips each side totalling 16 or 18 chips in all
Then yes!

Great Antneedshelp you made a wise choice some of the ram on ebay is just not very good, if you get corsair you will have top quality ram
