Dimension 3100 Error Code 34

Computer will not post. Amber light on monitor. Error code 34 on display panel. Have tried removing battery to reset cmos; removing mouse & keyboard plugs; disconnecting hard drive & cdrom cables. Any other suggestions before replacing the mainboard?

    The 3,4 Diagnostic leds that are showing on your tower reference a memory problem. If you reference your computer's manual
    < ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> and click on ther "owner's manual" not the service manual. then navigate to the Diagnostic LEDs section. you will see it's a memory issue. Try this:
     
    reseat your memory stick(s). then see if you get a different set of diag. leds. if they didn't change then strip the computer down to just the motherboard, power supply, processor. Then see if you get a memory beep code. If there isn't a beep code then it's a bad MB & CPU.
     
    Work with that and see what happens. Hope this helps

    You'd be surprised to see how much info you can find from www.support.dell.com. I.E. guides for removing/installing parts, drivers, manuals for all specification needs, KB articles, etc. So before you post try searching the site to find the answer you are looking for.
