Your post was somewhat misleading, or I misunderstood. You stated an error 34 but that is much different than the 3 and 4 lights staying on. Also could you please post the exact model of your system. And please confirm, is it an error 34 or the 3 and 4 lights on

error code
I chose this picture taken by another forum member because after getting this code and beeping sounds I turned my pc off and on again and it started working properly but I'm afraid it will happen again. I know that it says in the forum that this problem has been solved but I cannot find the solution anywhere. Thank you very much in advance for your kind assistance.
Sorry for the delay in replying and by now you may have experienced no further problem. But 3 and 4 indicate a memory issue. I would suggest reseating the RAM to see if the problem clears. If not pull all the RAM and see if you get a different diagnostic code. If you get a different code such as a 1 then reinstall the RAM modules one at a time to see if the 3 and 4 code reappears. If so then it quite probably is a bad RAM module.

hi all I am not a boffen space rocket scientist, take this tip and try it, it worked for me. Remove your ram, get yourself an eraser, hold your Ram fermin your hand take the eraser and rub the gold contacts till they are clean. Do both sides of eack stick. Replace and try for yourself and see if it works. It did for me.

Error 34 is not a RAM problem. It is either misconfigured system files or hardware that may not be plug and play compatible and is misconfigured. This page has more information.
