Check RAM in other socket
In desktops, a single module is enough to boot the PC. So check with single module in alternate sockets to isolate the problem
In servers, the memory population varies from MBD model to model. Some server boards should have two slots of a channel to be populated, to boot the server. Please check the PRN (Product Data Sheet) of particular motherboard.
Check auxiliary power connector voltage.
ATX SMPS will have a 4 pin or 6 pin auxiliary power connecter connected separately or together with 20pin main connector. This connector supplies 12V DC to MBD. Check the output voltage and make sure output are correct.
Remove, clean and install Processor
Remove processor fan and heat sink – apply heatsink paste on processor. It will give better contact to heat sink with the processor, so enhanced thermal transfer and faster processor cooling.
PGA and LGA processors
Removing/Installing PGA Processor
Handle Processor with care, since a single pin failure in processor may lead to total damage.
Remove heatsink and fan
Removing Processor
Apply heat sink paste on both processor and heat sink.
Removing LGA Processor - Handle Processor and socket with care (Pins are located in socket)
3 short beep sounds indicate RAM failure.
- This may happen due to moisture or dust in RAM pins or slot.
- Remove and clean both RAM and slots.
- Check for any burning sign on RAM ICs, if yes - replace RAM
- In Server, the RAM population should be followed as mentioned in respective Product Release Note.
- Check RAM in alternate slots (memory population scheme should be followed in server)
