Optiplex 7010 amber led code 3,2

Question

I have an optiplex 7010 tower from 2013 and when I try to boot it I get an amber light that flashes 3 times followed by a pause then flashes 2 times.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

According to the Dell chart that is a Video failure.

Here is what it says:

Video Subsystem failure

Video subsystem configuration activity in progress or video subsystem failure.
If you can troubleshoot, narrow down the issue by removing graphics cards one by one to determine which card failed.
If you can identify the card that failed, replace that card. If none of the cards failed, replace the motherboard.
