I went to go power on my computer and all of the fans come on it starts making a beeping noise. Three times slow and two times fast I think it’s my memory module

Hi
You are correct.
Looks like your PC shipped with one 8 GB memory module. Try this module in all available memory slots.
You might have to buy a new module. I would go with Crucial Memory https://www.crucial.com/products/memory for the best compatibility.

Hi
Agreed. Upgrade to two 16 GB memory modules. Memory is relatively inexpensive now. Crucial Memory is a good choice.
I use 32 GBs on my PCs.
32 GBs of memory could be the new sweet spot, all things equal, given CPU, GPU, and chipset limitations.
