my son is trying to build a new pc using a gigabyte mobo GA-H81M-DS2V (rev. 1.0) LGA 1150 Intel H81 2...

he mounted the mobo in the case, installed a Intel Pentium G3220 Haswell Dual-Core 3.0GHz LGA 1150 54W BX80646G3220 Desktop Processor...

and installed 2x4Gb CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9...

and when turned on it goes beep beep beep real short beeps real fast, about 20 or more and then three longer slower beeps but no startup...

gigabyte support says that the processor should work with this mobo, and that the ram is non ecc and unbuffered, as the mobo requires, but it won't work!!

gigabyte support really didn't offer much other than to say it should work and i can return the mobo if i want...

any ideas on how to resolve this situation?
