Computer wont start, single beep

When i try to turn it on again i get a single short beep sound.
This sound only happens the first time after the computer gets power

Try removing all but one stick of RAM and reseating the remaining one. If that doesn't work, keep testing different DIMMs and slots. If none of those resolve it, try removing the CMOS battery and reinserting it to wipe the CMOS memory.
Ram was 1+3, so ive moved it to 2+4, also tried both sticks individually in all the locations.
Tried clearing the cmos using jumper.
No luck so far, no spare parts to test with either.
No what they were saying is use 1 of the sticks in slot 1. If that doesn't work then try the other. See if it boots with either ONE of the two. Since it could be a dodgey DIMM or socket.
