Mac mini crashes upon boot given three beeps

Yep thats exactly what i did, i tried every individual stick first then both stock and both aftermarket also one of each. I was able to determine that one of the aftermarket (bought from best buy btw) was causing the issue, still even with the two that worked the mac would still crash after any attempt to troubleshoot issues while having the system running. I am goin to get two new sticks and start there and there really isnt a whole lot i want to save bc i lost it all when this first happened so if replacing the ram gets me up and running again i may try to retrieve my lost data but if it still runs slow and is unresponsive then (correct me if im wrong) but id think the best thing to do is try to bring the mac as close as i can to the state it was in upon purchasing it (full wipe of the whole system).
