thought i would update this now i have finally got things sorted.
had to have the motherboard and cpu replaced! both were faulty as it turns out.
bad luck i say buying two faulty items at the same time!
then to top it all we had an earthquake last weekend! never rains but it pours as the saying goes :)

Glad to hear you got the problem sorted out, thanks for letting us know.

Sorry to hear about the earthquake.

Heya.

I'm having the same problem. I looked up my RAM as well, and the mobo I have isn't listed on G.SKILL's site.

The computer worked perfectly for a while, then I moved to Japan, and it worked well for about half an hour until I started stressing the graphics card a bit. I had played games on it before quite well, but it only just started blue screening and then giving me those 3 long beeps.

I'm unable to actually return anything I have without going to extreme efforts, which is why I built the computer a month before I moved here. At this point, it seems like it would be easiest for me to try to buy some RAM that matches my mobo, but I'm also concerned that the problem is related to power, since Japan has a slightly different voltage. I was also able to use safe mode for a while without any problems, though now the computer refuses to boot longer than a few seconds. I've tried the various voltage adjustments as suggested in this thread. I also unplugged the peripherals and components not vital to the computer, and it ran longer than it has in the past before resetting itself.

Will I be better off trying new RAM first, or a new PSU? Those components will at least be easier to send home to have my parents complete the RMA for, if it's necessary. The mobo will be a whole mess of trouble, so I'm really hoping that's not an issue.
