Can you tell me more about what this means?

FYI, I've tried different PSU's with same problem. Also swapped out MoBo's and had same problem. Then, all of a sudden, I determined with the alternative MoBo that one of the two sticks of RAM was problematic. With just one stick installed, I had no problem getting it to POST with the alternative MoBo. With both sticks, it returned error beeps.

That led me to think that the CPU and PSU were OK and that the RAM was the problem. But when I went back to the original MoBo, I couldn't get the single stick of RAM to work
