2 dell optiplex's same boot code 132
i have try'd a lot of thing to get these two to boot, there a dell optiplex 320/380
i have replaced the ram, i used ddr3L, used a bunch of kits for the ddr2 one including dell ram,
i took the cmos battery out, replaced it, and when its out same boot code, i have used a different higher wattage PSU

The 1st pgh. also goes for your 320 (ram shouldn't be mixed). From the 380 Tech Guide:
Memory Your computer supports a maximum of 4 GB1 of memory when you use two 2-GB DIMMs. Memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology. If the memory modules are not installed in matched pairs, the computer will continue to operate, but with a slight reduction in performance.

The 1-3-2 beepcode means system not recognizing memory

Code 1-3-2 is associated with memory and if not the memory then the motherboard.
These are mid 2000 era machines. I would go for a different (won't find a new) motherboard first, rather than a CPU.
One source I found for motherboards. I know nothing about this site except I found it doing a search.
