I recently purchased two new 8GB DDR3 RAM sets. One contains two 4GB Corsair Vengeance modules, the other two 4GB Kingston Hyper X modules. I replaced my existing DDR3 RAM with these new sets in a spare rig and tested them. When booting, the PC emitted three loud beeps, the fan sped up to full capacity, and no display appeared. After swapping the RAM, the issue disappeared, but when I reused the original Corsair RAM, the same problems occurred. The system runs on an HP motherboard, a power supply, a Core i5 3470 GTX, and 1050Ti graphics. Please advise what might be wrong.

Clear the CMOS and eliminate any extra system parts before beginning. Reduce the board to its bare essentials for testing, then check each component individually on the board. This ensures safety and simplicity in verifying everything.

Sure, thanks! Just turning off the CMOS by pressing the small button on the motherboard, just to confirm.

I tried, but it doesn’t work—could mean the RAM is faulty.

It could happen, but finding that many leftover RAM sticks would be unusual.

OEM boards are generally recognized for their sensitivity to RAM compatibility. This is quite likely.
