132 Beep Code
Hello All
I have a Dimension 9150 and am unable to boot it up. I'm not getting to the Dell screen. I am getting a 132 Beep code, memory issue maybe? I already tried removing all the peripherals and unplugging the PC. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I should do? I see some suggest I reseat the memory, any thoughts on that? Also what if that does not work, what next?
Thanks

The 1-3-2 beepcode has historically been for the system not recognizing memory (on Dell systems at least).
I would start with that and reduce your memory to a single dimm and see if it gets you anywhere, if that dimm doesn't make a difference, replace it with 1 of the ones you pulled. Used this swapping idea to find which dimm may be causing your problem.

Hello DELL-Chris M
The Diagnositic Lights are 3 and 4 so according to the diagnotic code table the problem is "Memory modules are detected but a memory failure had occurred". I guess I will reseat the memory dimm by dimm, yes?
Thanks

1-3-2 is not in the table?

What color are the Diagnostic Lights?
* Turn the PC off
* Unplug the power cord from the back of the PC
* Lay the PC down on its left side
* Remove the case cover
* Remove and reseat every card, cable, plug, and ram stick
* Close the case cover
* Reconnect the PC power cord
* Power the PC on
