Hey everyone,
Recently my company deployed a bunch of HP DC5100 SFF PC's, and some of them are having intermitent booting issues. They won't boot. You hear 4 beeps, then see a red light.
Some techs have found that reseating the memory temporarily solves the problem, but it soon returns.
Is it possible that we were given a shipment of PC's with bad RAM? I have advised the techs to swap RAM from known working PC's with the RAM from known problem PC's to see if that solves the problem.
Is there a known issue that I'm not aware of, or do I seem to be on the right track with the thought of the RAM being bad?
Thanks,
TFK
