elitedesk g3

I have a Elitedesk G3 tower with 4GB memory. It refuses to post with a Intel x520-DA2 PCIe card in the x16 slot. 

 

I just get a 3-2 error (3 red, 2 white) which means "The embedded controller has timed out waiting for BIOS to return from
memory initialization.".

 

I have tried various disabling within the BIOS, including the network boot. What is happening? How can I make the card work?

 

Do I need a different card? Any suggestions for a card that will work that will also work in ESXi 7?

 

Thanks, George

I have moved the single memory module to a different slot. It seems to boot. 

 

Could this possibly be the cause?

 

Does this mean that the motherboard is defective?
