corglass · 2017-10-22 10:35:22

Hi guys Can you please take a look at the video below and advise what the best course of action is? I seem to be getting a 1,3,2 beep which according to the link below is "Memory error" Will re-seating the RAM help or do I need memory? https://youtu.be/L6mviTiwKB4…

1. Clear board power by removing the mains plug and then holding the power button for 10 seconds
TEST
2. Clear CMOS by removing the mains and CMOS battery (watch) and holding the power for 10 seconds
TEST
3. Try with only one ram stick at a time in each of the slots (every combination), testing each time.

Without doubt it's a faulty stick of ram.
