I also tried with one 4Gb memory stick, but at startup I got the same six beeps.

 

The next step is to get a new CPU.

@Sandy1238,

 

The six beeps could mean that your i7-2600K's integrated graphics is faulty.  That may not matter per se if you got a discrete graphics card which would automatically bypass the "i" of your processor's iGPU. Another thing to try would be to turn off secure boot and to turn on legacy boot in BIOS.

 

Kind Regards,

I solved the problem by getting an i7-2600 CPU with a working GPU.

The temperatures were significantly higher compared to the i3-2100 CPU, but I raised the Fan Idle Mode two notches in the Bios.

 

Thank you for your help.
