Macbook 3 Bleeps on Startup

Macbook 3 Bleeps on Startup

I am having a strange issue with my 2010 MBP. I recently upgraded the memory to 8GB ram and it was working fine, but now when I load it up I get 3 bleeps.
I opened it up and checked the ram was in correctly. I powered back up and it worked fine. I closed the lid, left it for the night, came back to it and booted her up and it done it again. I turned it off, and back on, and it booted up.
It goes through stages like this when I have to keep trying to power it on before it will eventually come on.
I've heard it's a RAM issue, but if so why am I still able to boot up the MacBook after a couple of attempts?
I'm not sure how to solve this bootup issue. Once it's booted it works fine and I have no issues UNLESS I close the lid, and it then has to be restarted.
I can't understand how it worked fine before.
Is there anything I can try to fix this apart from replacing the RAM (I can't afford new RAM).
