When I start it up there is dell optiplex a long beep followed by 5 short beeps. I know the beeps mean something, but I don't exaclty know. I've tried changing the RAM, to no avail. Could it be video, because there is no signal to the screen?

I removed one of the DIMMs and it booted fine, then switched to make sure the other one was bad, still booted fine. Then I installed in the 2nd DIMM slot, booted ok. It seems that it won't boot in Dual Channel. Is this something I can fix by changing a setting or is my forever locked into Single Channel mode? Sep 26, 2009 #6 (You must log in or sign up to rep
