- How to fix Dell Diagnostic Error Code Lights 1 and 3 on a Dell Optiplex 790 SFF Small Form Factor.
If you get error codes 1 and 3 - this means you need to replace the memory module.
This video goes through the replacement and troubleshooting steps to make sure that it's not the slot and that you have the correct memory module.

Hi, I am having a dell optiplex 990. It won't turn on. I tried the way you showed in the video but my computer shows that it's "entering power saving mode".
Please suggest a way to fix it.
Thank you very much my bro i dont have money now but i will donate you. Thank you very much
I did that but not working, again and again and again back to f1 f2 f5 startup repair. You show us incomplete procedure.
This video definitely saved my day, in 2022. Out of nowhere my Dell Optiplex 790 won’t wake up from sleep. Unplugged the power and attempted hard reboot. Lights 1 & 3 lit up solid. Figured after 10 years the Dell has finally given up life. I thought it wasn’t worth any more money to put into the machine and as a last ditch effort to just move around the ram sticks, booting with only one ram stick at a time, and hey presto, the thing boots up and detects all 4 ram sticks installed! Didn’t have to spend a dime!

SAME i just cleaned them and swapped the order and it worked :D
Same!! I took them out, cleaned them and I put them back again and everything worked perfectly.
Comp was blue screening off and on all day, powering off, being weird. I Googled Optiplex lights orange lights 1 and 3 and your video came up. Wow, man, that was the fastest, easiest pc repair I've had. Thank you so very much. Dead to alive in under 10 minutes.
Exactly the same happened to me.... Appreciate their hard work...
This man is a legend. Dimm slot 1 was broken
Thanks! My screen was saying that the cord was bad, but on the PC the lights 1 and 3 were on. Perfectly clear video. Replaced one memory card (first time in my 62 year old life) without a hitch. Works great! So grateful. Thanks!
Really 1st time in your life? 😲
Can i just simple appreciate this guy enough 🙏
Like really, At noon, this problem occured to me and after ine restart at worked, but then at night, it didn't start and this time restarting alsp didn't work. I tried everything including removing the cell, manual power supply start. Then this guy saved the day. All i did was remove all the ram, then clean all the slots and ram sticks, then applied only on stick (i had 4 sticks) and it worked. Then i added the second stick and started it and so on. Now my pc is working completely fine with all 4 sticks. This guy really deserves a subscriberl and like
Got the same error light 1 & 3, found this great video and immediately went for the RAMs. Reseated the RAMs and thank goodness it WORKS. Thanks bro, you da best!
Dusted off an Optiplex 780 sleeping in storage room for 8 years and it had 1 3 error. Removed one of the four memory modules fixed the error. Then put the removed module back and PC booted fine. The BIOS even has the correct date and just 10 minutes off in clock. Put a new SSD in and Win 10 is installing right now. Thank you.
My guy you literally are a life saver
I opened up my pc to change hardrive/ssd ( im a 14 y/o ) and nothing went as planned and couldn't even get my work done after like 3 hours and when i put everything back my pc showed this issue
I tried constantly for 2-3 days but nothing worked until i watched your vid
Man you're a goat thank you soo much it works now I was stressing so much😭❤

I have Dell Optiplex 790 with four memory slots (3 - 1066 and 1 - 1333Mhz), the 1333Mhz memory went bad. I tried with swapping the sticks in different slot and it didn't work. Can we combine with different Mhz in the same computer?
Most useful vid I've seen all week, Thanks mate
Thank God! You saved my PC
You've justed saved my PC hahaha. Shout out from 🇧🇷
Thank you. I was gonna replace the whole board will be grateful if you could make a video explaining those lights we have lots of these old desktops

Gamer Dan Thanks man. Helped out a lot

Thank you this was so use ful for me
After doing this I got the BSOD and Ive done every single guide on earth to fix it but nothing happens, it wont even let me factory reset. The ram stick isnt the problem but the slot closest to the front of the pc is. What do I do?
Thank you bro.I made it in just 5 mins.
I have a DELL Optiplex 980 and the diagnostic lights 1 and 3 always on every time I connect the power. I have changed the RAM with the new one and it still broken, is the problem with the RAM or with the motherboard?
The motherboard is probably dead.
I have 1 and 3 flashing together with the power button flashing with an amber color. What does this mean?
I have 4 sticks each 2 gigs and 1333 MHz bus. Only Dimm 2 and 4 are working and 1 and 3 Dimm gives 1 and 3 amber diagnostic lights on the front panel when I'm putting a ram.
damn huge thanks it worked, thought it was about time to upgrade but i guess not,
Thanks man, it's very useful and short
Work here! Thank you my friend, God bless you.
thank u so much. by watching this video i was able to solve my Dell Optiplex 790 problem.. man u r a life saver
You the great sir... Solved thanks
Thank you. This video saved me
thank you for the information in this video
When I put all three of my rams in either slot but separately, they all work. When I double the ram they still work. But when I install all three at the same time, I get this error. Even though I was using all three just a week ago. Please help me
Thanku bro helped me a lot.......
You are a life saver. Thank you
Fix the problem right away,thx a lot
got 790sff core i5 with same problem.. Thanks dude!
Thanks you so much this method help me a lot. Your the best👏🏾👊🏾
Does this effect what's already on the pc?
Thanks for sharing. The video did at least get me to attempt a repair on my own. After playing with and shuffling the two cards, I did get the 1 & 3 error lights to go out , . . . without spending a dime. NICE! I'm getting a picture again.
....although now, I am getting some sort of "start-up" problem. Windows is attempting to do a repair itself, but so far, no luck.
Thank you so much. You saved my day.
I have optiplex 990 when plugged it power on automatically, but the power button led remains off, only light up 1&3 solid( any idear whats the problem)
I'm guessing if it is the slot then that means that it is also the motherboard, and nothing can be done?
my dell has only the led one stay turn on it has some way to by passed that slot???
Estaba en apuros pero tú vídeo me ayudo mucho
thought my computer had died because of 1-3 fault-----followed directions in vidio and it instantly burst back into life----1st time an old fart like me repaired a computer---great feeling
Thanks very good idea and start my computer very very thanks
Thanks for city of mahal, it worked
Are you not meant to put ram in the 2 black slots because when I took the additional ram out of then slots the system worked
