5 short beeps on startup

[Andreas_HF]

Computer beeped six short beeps on startup. Did not start up. Continued until I shut it off. When I started it again, it worked just fine.
This happened every time I wanted to use The computer. I later wanted to fix The problem, so I reseated The RAM, and now The computer does not boot, and beeps five short beeps.

Hi:

Remove all of the memory modules and test only one at a time.

Normally you test them in the slot closest to the processor.

If the PC still beeps 5 times after testing each memory module individually, most likely the motherboard has failed.

it is doubtful that every memory module is faulty unless you only have one or two at the most.
