Thanks ever so much Steve. Had this problem for a long time and did the removal of RAM one by one, as you advised and discovered the bad one. Now all working tickety-boo. You have saved me a lot of money
The Dell Memory Limited Lifetime warranty ( only in US, not applicable to APJ) The confidence of Dell in its superior testing and certification procedures is not only reflected through its system hardware warranty support. Dell Certified memory also contains a Limited Lifetime warranty that guarantees that if our Dell Certified memory should ever fail, Dell will replace it . Even after your system hardware warranty expires, Dell still has you covered. APJ Warranty is 1 year/ integrated with the system hardware warranty.
If you bought off someone on eBay, you might have a problem as they would be the original owner. You would have to have bought directly from Dell or an authorized (like Staples, Best Buy, etc) and have some type of receipt or registered it within a year of buying it.
Thank you so much! I'm panicking because I don't have money to pay to repair my system unit. This fix really helped me. More power to you and your channel.
God bless your soul! I was doing browser work and my pc started to glitch and crashed. I restarted and nothing happened. I restarted my RAM card and it works. Thanks for your support!
OMG this really worked! You’re a genius! Thank you sir! I work from home and I had to clock in. I was panicking but thanks to you I am going to be just fine!!!!
You did a good deed by cleaning it up and I was able to assist when you ran into trouble. That's thanks enough and I hope that your hard work is appreciated. 😀
Can you remove all, turn on and let it beep, turn off and put only ONE stick and power up. If it works. Shut down and put it on the left of the PC and try a second stick. If that is good put it on the left as well, if bad, put it on the right side. Continue until you go through all the sticks. When done, try the sticks on the right again. If it is still the same, those need to be replaced. If good, mark them so you know that it is possibly failing. If under warranty tell your seller/manufacturer.
So one of the RAM is bad? Good catch. 👍 Is it still under warranty? Let them replace it. The one that looks bad, try it alone one-by-one in all the slots to make sure it's not the motherboard. That way, you don't buy RAM and see it not working.

OM GOODNESS!!!! THIS WORKED!! DUDE YOU SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME AND $$$ - I reset the RAM sticks into different slots and the computer booted right up after reconfiguration of the memory! 🥰😍🤩
You're welcome. I'm glad that you were able to get your system up and running. Did your system clock fall behind? If the PC is always on like in a work environment, that tends not to happen but at home to save power, it will drain since they are good for 1-3 years depending on the brand.
When I take the ram out of my pc it kicks on for a second then kicks back off when the ram is in the pc but when the ram is in it it’s just stays running
Got to love Dell on cutting corners. I had Dell laptop my company uses, one that had the Amber light of death (AA-WWWW), and the Dell I received is having audio issues in Teams meetings. Guess the Amber Light of Death isn’t restricted to laptops…
We bought 300 AIOs in November, and 10 are defective out of the box. 3 x USB-C and 1 USB-A Port not working 2 x Damaged screen (I think the mouse rattled in the box and hit the screen) 2 x Won't turn on/Flashing Yellow/No Fans 1 x Won't turn on/Fans work but not the power button 1 x No audio from Speakers or headphone jack (they want me to install drivers and update firmware, WTF?) 1 x Missing screws in the desk stand (I am going to wall mount so I do need the stand, but when it's resold after 10 years of use, I need it to have one)
Happy that it worked out for you. If you don't trust saving them online, at least backup to DVD which is not rewritable since malware could get to them on the PC.
Is the PC being used for gaming as well? That can be a cause due to the high RAM use. Failing RAM and motherboard are other possibilities. Run a diagnostic when you can and note that it doesn't always catch an issue.
Cool. I hope that it wasn't the same PC or if it was, at least 3 months apart. Too close together means hardware failure is sneaking up on you so be prepared for it especially if you only have 1 stick of RAM.
@@BIGXANNY Put back 1 stick of RAM and see the if the manufacture logo (Dell, HP, etc) will come up. Edit: If it complains about 'time of day not set' and memory amount has changed, that's fine. Change the battery when you can.
@@StevePringle no i could have put the RAM back in the same slot as long you take it out and insert again..one guy reckons problem caused by power buildup.

It's a hiccup that will happen up to four times in the life of the PC. If you have to do it twice in 1 month, check it thoroughly. It could be due to a mistake in OC settings or heat related issue by underpowered PSU that can't keep up due to poor airflow.
Cool. There are a few steps that you can skip if you know exactly what is wrong because sometimes, 2 issues are the cause. I'm glad that you are up and running again. 🥳
@@StevePringle yup, i had an idea that it had something to do with ram cuz I've dealt with this before but i panicked and wasn't sure , THANKS, to your video i tried again as well as clean my CPU and tada!!! It's fine now.
As long as it was a memory issue. 90% of the time it is but sometimes the he PSU or motherboard bite the dust as dust builds up and lets the system run hotter.
@@StevePringle I was wondering how it possible to happen. I was accidentaly press power button and after that got this issue. Before that my pc was working fine.
Power loss or spike can cause it. Good idea to use a reliable power strip. I recommend disabling the power button in Control Panel. ruclips.net/user/shortsKLpK262Qpfw I know lots of people who try to eject their DVD drive and hit the power button and shutdown at the worst time.
+Steve Pringle Markus and I tried your suggestion, and unfortunately nothing changed. The light is a solid yellow light on my machine. Markus came over to look at my Dell, and when he opened it up, he did smell something slightly smokey, though he wasn't sure if he was right, since he had a mask on. He ended up having to take the computer home with him, since he has all his tools at home, and so I'm hoping he'll figure out what's goin' on when he tries to diagnose it at home. If nothing can be fixed, he's going to bring the hard drive back and let me borrow his hard drive dock so I can try to back stuff up on another drive. I'd like to send you an email with pictures of a computer that I'd like to build.
A "smokey" odor could be the PSU. So the power button is a steady yellow and not a flashing yellow? If so, the RAM pull won't help and would need to be checked further.
@@StevePringle That's why Markus took it home with him, since he has all the tools at home to get further into the machine.

Great! Keep an eye on the clock if you leave the computer off for extended periods as the battery is used to keep the time for 1 to 3 years ago the longer it is off, the faster it will deplete. As for the boot, do you mean macOS? ruclips.net/video/YtR9cY4gw2g/видео.html
@@StevePringle Hi. Actually I am having , Ubuntu OS. Now I am getting input from CPU. But it is showing blank screen with blinking cursor. Do you know something about this? Thanks in advance 🙏
It seem to been looking for your ESP. Verify in the BIOS (where you went to check the time) to make sure the boot order hasn’t changed. If you have your installer, see if that loads to make sure you don’t have a GPU/iGPU issue.
If you were flashing, the possibility is high but I doubt you were doing that. Listen and look at the fans to make sure you are not overheating. They need to be unobstructed and spinning normally so check the CPU fan, the PSU fan and HDD fan. ruclips.net/video/Cvyl77CuODg/видео.html
Sir, i had blinking and beep problem. So i removed the ram and reinserted it but i locked it manually with my hand. Now it is blinking without sound and no display coming. Should i reinsert and push it until it is locked automatically
Good morning. Was it beeping before you removed the memory sticks? Try 1 stick at a time (with the HDD unplugged) and after you figure which stick is the cause, reconnect the HDD and boot normally. Memory should always click into place.
my pc works fine but i have no lights on? when i turn on power light comes on then goes off i have no led lights on sides coming on either ? aurora r7 can you help please ?
I'm glad that it worked and why you're subscribing as I do 4 types of video under 1 channel so I want to make sure I keep up with what you will find useful.
Hold power button in 4 seconds or unplug Remove RAM after you discharge your static. Boot twice without the RAM Discharge your static again Unplug power, insert all RAM or just 1 stick Plug in power and try to boot normally. If it does with all sticks, cheer. If only 1 or some sticks of RAM, look to replace another soon as if the same batch, will die on you too.
@@100roberthenry You're welcome. Hopefully, it just got warm from gaming and shutdown to save itself and not a motherboard failure. Now is a good time to check your vents and make sure air flow is not being impaired. I always find the front vents blocked by dust or by the owner placing a post-it note. The HDD/SSD is usually by that vent too so you don't want that to reach high temps and fail before its time.
Your method does not fix all issues. The flashing orange light gives indicator of what the problem is depending on the flash sequence. There is a dell document explaining the meanings.

Yeah. If the battery is dead, you don't want it to leak and mess up the motherboard so remove it now and replace it when you can. The PC can operate safely without it. If the time was off by a few hours, it's weak and you will eventually need to replace it. Leaving the PC on should recharge it but not by much as it is a CR2032 and not LR2032/ML2032.
When I put the ram sticks back in and turned the pc on. The power button was white but I heard that 6 beeps and then flashy orange power button again. I dont know what to do pls help me
This is your current issue. ruclips.net/video/lcSmwqKbOmk/видео.html How many RAM sticks do you have? Try putting one only and for now, disconnect the boot drives until you see the manufacturer logo on boot so you don't corrupt the OS. Keep adding RAM until you find the bad RAM or slot.
You RAM might have gotten fried. Do you have another PC, friend or relative who can test your RAM in their PC? If it does the same in the other, then you know you. Need to replace it.
What model? Did it beep after adding the memory back? If it has an add-in GPU and you have a display cable that can connect to the motherboard and the monitor, try that an see if the GPU went bad. If no add-in, it's possible the iGPU is acting up. Borrowing a GPU to test would be the next step and if that works, buy one of the same and better. If PC is under warranty, get them to swap it for you.
@@StevePringle Hey Steve so I watched your video closely again and followed it step by step and it worked this time! I guess the RAM wasn't attached properly earlier. Thank you for replying and for posting this video! Saved me a lot of time. PS:- Model is Optiplex 9020
See if your F12 button is sticking. Edit: F2 and not F12. If F2 is sticking, you will be reverted to the BIOS automatically. If F12 is sticking, the boot menu will keep coming up. If the Boot drive is not listed, check the SATA/power cable as 1 or both is not connected.
Already? It's normal. It could have happened due to a memory leak. Keep a log and don't clear the BIOS reporting area. I have seen where customers ask for a replacement and end up getting a refurbished unit so keep that in mind.
I have a Dell Optiplex 5070 Mini Tower that has a noisy PSU fan. I have been through 3 replacement PSU units that are exactly the same part number. All of them cause the blinking yellow light and won't turn on. I can put the old PSU, with the noisy fan, and it starts right up. Any ideas?
What happens when you boot up with a replacement and all RAM modules are removed? Do any of the replacement PSU have a black button and green LED on it? If yes, hold it in and once the internal fans start running, press the power button on the front of the case.
@@StevePringleI went through 3 dud PSUs from Amazon. They were all identical to the one that was already in there. I bought it on Amazon a year ago. I ordered one from Dell, which was also identical and it worked out of the box.
By chance, are you plugged into a UPS? I remember before the pandemic, a computer had an issue as the UPS was failing and not sending sufficient power to the system. Plugging directly into the wall outlet corrected it.

Thank you very much. I had the same issue blinking yellow light i did as in the video and it worked. Thanks 👍
Awesome. Happy computing. 🥳
Thanks a lot still works in 2021 and it will also work in the future thanks a lot
As long as your RAM or PSU avoids failure, you're good to go. The beeps let you know which.
Yes man......
I am from Pakistan❤❤
You are great man❤❤
my pc works fine but i have no lights on? when i turn on power light comes on then goes off i have no led lights on sides coming on either ? aurora r7 can you help please ?
That's a laptop if I am not mistaken.
You need to reseat/replace the RAM.
That's why it shuts off in a few seconds.
Amazing man great🔥🔥 I am going to subscribe your channel for this
I'm glad that it worked and why you're subscribing as I do 4 types of video under 1 channel so I want to make sure I keep up with what you will find useful.
Thankyou so much Sir you save me during my CAPSTONE RESEARCH PROJECT God bless😇
Cool.
Sir what if it comes back again I'm worried about that
Redo again and it will go away. I would contact support if it happens twice in a month but know that it could be one of your software causing it.
Worked, tysm.
Excellent. Happy holidays.
Thankyou this worked, legend
Appreciate the feedback.
thank u..very helpful tips, my computer is working now..
Thank you so much sir ❤️❤️
You're the man, this worked for me!!!
Excellent. Be safe and blessed.
Sorry but I did everything step by step and it didn't work for me. Can you please tell me what I can try next
How many sticks of RAM do you have?
ruclips.net/video/lcSmwqKbOmk/видео.html
Thankyou so much brother it's really 100% work 👍👍
OMG thank you so much!
Glad that it worked out for you.
hi , so you hold the power button in?.....then remove ram?.....the put ram back in and boot? thanks.
Hold power button in 4 seconds or unplug
Remove RAM after you discharge your static.
Boot twice without the RAM
Discharge your static again
Unplug power, insert all RAM or just 1 stick
Plug in power and try to boot normally.
If it does with all sticks, cheer.
If only 1 or some sticks of RAM, look to replace another soon as if the same batch, will die on you too.
@@StevePringle brilliant, thanks so much.
@@100roberthenry You're welcome. Hopefully, it just got warm from gaming and shutdown to save itself and not a motherboard failure. Now is a good time to check your vents and make sure air flow is not being impaired. I always find the front vents blocked by dust or by the owner placing a post-it note. The HDD/SSD is usually by that vent too so you don't want that to reach high temps and fail before its time.
Great Man, This worked. Thanks a Ton.
thank so much this worked for me!
Mine flashes 2 3 time the orange light idk what's wrong is it the power supply? Or the motherboard
Your method does not fix all issues. The flashing orange light gives indicator of what the problem is depending on the flash sequence. There is a dell document explaining the meanings.
It's meant to troubleshoot, and a high percentage of the time, the RAM needs to be reseated or replaced.
WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This saves me alot. :) 👍
You're welcome. Enjoy your system. 😀
Ik heb ook zelfde probleem hoe lost ik dit op ? Hij start niet alleen oranje knippert
Hallo. Heb je de stappen in de video geprobeerd?
@@StevePringle nog niet maar wat moet ık eruıt halen ın desktop
De video leert u hoe u een diagnose kunt stellen met uw tastzin, gehoor en zicht. Er is geen extra testapparatuur nodig. Nadat u hebt gedetecteerd wat het doet of niet doet in de test, kunt u andere actie ondernemen.
ruclips.net/video/CSgV3FeeDA0/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/lcSmwqKbOmk/видео.html
The video teaches you how to diagnose with your sense of touch, hearing, and sight. No additional testing equipment is required. After detecting what it is doing or failing to do in the test, you can take other action.
Your method worked! subscribed! I disconnected the computer and conected it back to do this. My time was Bad. Does it require a new battery?
Yeah. If the battery is dead, you don't want it to leak and mess up the motherboard so remove it now and replace it when you can. The PC can operate safely without it.
If the time was off by a few hours, it's weak and you will eventually need to replace it. Leaving the PC on should recharge it but not by much as it is a CR2032 and not LR2032/ML2032.
@@StevePringle Off by years lol! OK man, thanks! Any tips on what the battery looks like? lol
thank you i just i saved money because of you thanks again
You have a SUB RN Thanks you're money saver no🧢
When I put the ram sticks back in and turned the pc on. The power button was white but I heard that 6 beeps and then flashy orange power button again. I dont know what to do pls help me
This is your current issue.

How many RAM sticks do you have?
Try putting one only and for now, disconnect the boot drives until you see the manufacturer logo on boot so you don't corrupt the OS. Keep adding RAM until you find the bad RAM or slot.
@@StevePringle I have 2 ram sticks. When I put each of them in. They both beep
What happens when you try each stick alone? Are your slots all black or blank and white so that you can tell 1 and 3 then 2 and 4?
@@StevePringle I have 4 slots 2 black and 2 white. When I try each one by itself it does the 6 beep thing again
You RAM might have gotten fried. Do you have another PC, friend or relative who can test your RAM in their PC? If it does the same in the other, then you know you. Need to replace it.
It works. Thank you so much. You save my day
Congrats and happy holidays. 🍾🎉🎈🥳
Thanks you may god bless you for helping all
You're welcome. I'm glad that it worked out for you.
I tried this. Cleaned and fixed the RAM back but didn't work. Any suggestions? I got the six beeps as in this video
What model? Did it beep after adding the memory back? If it has an add-in GPU and you have a display cable that can connect to the motherboard and the monitor, try that an see if the GPU went bad. If no add-in, it's possible the iGPU is acting up. Borrowing a GPU to test would be the next step and if that works, buy one of the same and better. If PC is under warranty, get them to swap it for you.
@@StevePringle Hey Steve so I watched your video closely again and followed it step by step and it worked this time! I guess the RAM wasn't attached properly earlier. Thank you for replying and for posting this video! Saved me a lot of time.
PS:- Model is Optiplex 9020
@@adeshr2693 That will always do it. Got to listen for the "clicks" and fake sure the RAM is flat.
Thank You ,
Its a big help for me now ..💞
Thank you lad
Im stuck on the menu I’ll check the time and it’ll be right but when I exit it takes me back to the 3 options
See if your F12 button is sticking.
Edit: F2 and not F12. If F2 is sticking, you will be reverted to the BIOS automatically. If F12 is sticking, the boot menu will keep coming up. If the Boot drive is not listed, check the SATA/power cable as 1 or both is not connected.
Thank you so much brother
Bro my pc is 2 months old and it is having this problem so should i ask the company to replace my pc or it is normal that a pc can have this problem
Already? It's normal. It could have happened due to a memory leak. Keep a log and don't clear the BIOS reporting area. I have seen where customers ask for a replacement and end up getting a refurbished unit so keep that in mind.
Are you using it mostly for gaming or is to work from home due to the pandemic?
@@StevePringle i am using it for work from home recently
@@StevePringle and thanks for the reply have a nice day ✌🏻
Thanks. ☺️
Thank u so much my friend!!
Happy to have helped.
I have a Dell Optiplex 5070 Mini Tower that has a noisy PSU fan. I have been through 3 replacement PSU units that are exactly the same part number. All of them cause the blinking yellow light and won't turn on. I can put the old PSU, with the noisy fan, and it starts right up. Any ideas?
Are the replacement PSUs compatible or OEM?
What happens when you boot up with a replacement and all RAM modules are removed?
Do any of the replacement PSU have a black button and green LED on it? If yes, hold it in and once the internal fans start running, press the power button on the front of the case.
@@StevePringleI went through 3 dud PSUs from Amazon. They were all identical to the one that was already in there. I bought it on Amazon a year ago. I ordered one from Dell, which was also identical and it worked out of the box.
By chance, are you plugged into a UPS? I remember before the pandemic, a computer had an issue as the UPS was failing and not sending sufficient power to the system. Plugging directly into the wall outlet corrected it.
Thanks u just saved my life
*Life* and *PC* saved.
Today was a good day. 😄
@@StevePringle yes it was 😊😊
Wow great sir . It worked for me thank you so much sir
