I have a Dell XPS 8900. I took it apart and reassembled it and now when I plug in the power supply the power button starts flashing 2 pause then 7 I’ve tried to reseat the ram to no avail.
If you have more than one memory module, try one module at a time in each socket until you isolate the bad module -- if one module produces the error in more than one socket, it's bad. If two modules each test bad in one socket but not the other, the mainboard is bad.
