Memory error

Question

I have a Dimension 4400.  When I start the computer I get 3 beeps.  The abcd lights on the back are as follows a & b are amber  c & d are green.  This is a memory error.  I remove the memory and still get the same error.  I remove all cards from the system board, all drives from the system board and the two dimms and with nothing connected to the system board but the power and a fan I still get the same memory error ---  3 beeps and 2 amber 2 green lights.  Any ideas?   Thanks

I would say that points the finger at a faulty mainboard.

Try the DIMMs one at a time. You must have at least one DIMM on the board to boot the system.

I tried both DIMMs one at a time in each slot same error - 3 beeps, 2 amber & 2 green lights.  I also tried one new DIMM from work and it still gives the same error.
