Charckenn,
Below is the meaning of what 2 beep codes represent.
No memory modules are detected.
How to resolve the error.
- If you have two or more memory modules installed, remove the modules, reinstall one module, and then restart the computer. If the computer starts normally, reinstall an additional module. Continue until you have identified a faulty module or reinstalled all modules without error.
- If available, install good memory of the same type into your computer.
- If the problem persists, possible memory connector failure.
Thank You,
Dell-Jesse1
