Dell Optiplex blinking orange

Hello,

My Dell Optiplex 3040 not turning on and is blinking orange 2x blink, stops sec, 7x blink.

I thought my ram was bad but it wasnt the ram it is blinking anymore, could my bios the problem be?

Thanks for help

Have you changed RAM lately or added RAM? That blink code does indicate RAM problems. Run diagnostics, F12 at boot, and watch for any errors. You could also go to the Memtest86 web page and download their test for RAM. If you do run the test any error, even one, indicates a RAM failure. Also try reseating the RAM making sure it is in the correct slots, generally both white slots.

Hello,

i buyed tested ram so i guess the ram is okay. i test it out tomorrow with f12 but i also guess i cant do it because the computer isnt giving any video output/it wont boot correctly (fans spinning).
